self-delusion 

Self-delusion occurs when a person tricks themselves into thinking something, which usually isn't true. This might happen when something very bad happens, like a close family member or friend got into an fatal accident, and you have no clue if they're okay or not, because you didn't know it was fatal. You may try to make yourself believe they are okay, when they are sadly not. You delude yourself.

Sally thinks her dog'll be okay. She really has deluded herself. (self-delusion. She deluded herself into thinking her dog would be okay)

The God Delusion 

A non-fiction book by the genius Richard Dawkins, one of the most important books ever written. This book is so important, because it may one day convince enough people of the truth. With the majority of the world atheist, society can advance more quickly with freedom from religion and all of it's restrictions.

Everyone should read The God Delusion with an open mind

Toronto Delusion 

When no matter how much a professional sports team of Toronto is loosing, they are always the winning team in the eyes of hopeless fans.

- Toronto won last night! They are definitely going to the playoffs now!
- Ummm... that's their first win all season.
- Yeah! But they are going to win all the rest now, I can feel it.
- Facepalm. Congratulations. You are completely stuck in the Toronto Delusion.

optical delusion 

Something that is merely for show or aesthetic/cosmetic purposes only --- it simply makes something APPEAR better or more attractive, but it does not actually add to the strength/quality/usefulness of the person or object.

Excellent examples of optical delusion are paint, Bondo, fancy costumes, plastic surgery, etc... they may make something or someone LOOK really nice on the outside, but the cosmetically-altered subject is still the same decrepit undesirable underneath.
