Is it is just a matter of perception?
We create and navigate our own reality choosing what information is relevant to us and disregarding information that is not. Our mind operates under action potential and bias. Thus is the illusion of reality and choice. The sum of given circumstances, exposure to information and experience builds tiers of relevance in the unconcious mind. This system of relavance is meant to be taken for granted, invisible under the veil of desire and dislike. People who are indoctrinated, for example, into religion and a conservative lifestyle tend to have most of their experience and information garnered to form their own reality, displacing liberalism and outstanding religious beliefs. The latter can also be applied to the tree hugging hippie who's influence and cultural makeup produce an alternate paradigm of reality. In truth, both of their spiritual views and cultural views are completely valid for the makeup of their reality
The action potential is the sum of all data and experience giving rise to the manifestation of will and choice. Even more so, reality, or the illusion there of, is a circular system where we project our will outward to shape the experience of reality and thus our perception of reality can change and will affect the future outcome of reality and it's perception.
When one stops to look inward and explore the makeup of oneself we can get a glimpse of the mechanics involved in what choice we project on reality and why or what we choose to see, believe, accept, refute and ignore. It can be enlightening to see all aspects of the self and it's role in the interaction of perception, choice and how it shapes ones own reality. To trancend this point of self and see all realities, yours and the others that manifest is no simple thing. It requires great self exploration and self understanding, as well as understanding others and exploring them. Only the idiot thinks they know everything.

Reflection
Looking at the surface of a pond,
Hello Narcissus.
*if only I could touch my moving picture*
Behind you oh
Hello Echo
feed-back back back
Look beyond the image.
See that there is depth.
Listen between the loops.
Hear the breath.

I remember reading in one of Casteneda's books that sometimes the most powerful wizards can get stuck in their own over developed world-veiws not able to escape.
"Only the idiot thinks they know everything." ha! good to keep in mind.
Only the idiot thinks they know everything.

An idiot of course.
'Idiot' may be a bit harsh...considering the psychological implication that the appellation refers to someone with the mental facility of a three-year old.... the kind of delusion you refer to is more prevalent among the 'educated.'
