People believe things that are wrong all the time. That isn't a matter of conscience but of ignorance or lack of education.
I would imagine there were plenty of people who lived during the times of slavery in the US who grew up with slavery, accepting it without question, because of what they were taught. It was just accepted with no more thought given.
I knew someone years ago who believed that a certain race had no souls. He had been raised with that "truth" pounded into his head by his father. This person was not a deep thinker, he didn't question what he had been taught. He believed error. He was sincere in his beliefs, but his beliefs were incorrect.
