Apples & oranges. We have pretty reliable information about the fictional nature of those things.

Theology isn't irrational, although sometimes religious apologetics is called theology as way of giving it more crediblity.

Maybe it's irrational to hold testable and falsifiable information, above all other kinds of information, secondary information, such as anecdotal testimony or historical writings, but that is what I do.
I took a picture with Mickey Mouse! He does so exist!

The value of historical writings is that they give context for the interpretation of everyday facts. Anecdote is particularly useful when the system has ownership of the scientific method and systemic prejudice exists.
He's obviously your kitty.
We had a black cat on the farm where I grew up. He was the strong assertive type, and a real mouser. We named him Black Cat, but over time it got shortened to Blacket. Probably my favorite cat of all that I've known.
I grew up with a 20+lb black cat named Tabby. She was probably more influential in my upbringing than anyone else.
Uhm..... Ugh.
This is impossible to answer in any single forum post. Or even in any single conversation.

The system has ownership of the scientific method?
What system, what ownership?
History is difficult to test, unless done so in conjunction with the scientific method, as with archaeology. For example. Written history is especially unreliable. Anecdotal evidence is next to worthless, compared to empirically derived information.
They have a pretty long lineage for never having a mother in the family...

Boars? Childs play, mine has a unicorn...
Ignorance of the details of one's own religion is not the same as not knowing what one believes.
I'm fairly confident that while some people are ignorant of some of what the religion they identify with teaches, everyone knows what they believe.
As to the title question, which people are apparently responding to rather than the OP, I think, as has already been mentioned, is far too broad. If you really expect the question to be answered, I think you should reframe the question as, "What do you believe about ___________?"
Also, I don't think the word "truly" is necessary. I'm not aware of people that falsely believe things.
As an atheist i can assure you this is not true

The unicorn rampant is what i married into, it's far more interesting than my fathers family crest of a castle
