In your initial thinking the usefulness comes from not believing it themselves but enforcing the belief on their minions. Which does not actually speak to the efficacy of the belief but efficacy of a method of coercion.
Exactly, so the philosophy may not directly enhance my life, but it can help me understand how some parts of the world are governed or function outside of myself, and help me navigate better.
One of my favorite quotes to give my 'normie materialist' friends when explaining occult phenomena like satanism is some elitist circles, is that it's not important if you believe in satanism, but it is it important to understand that 'they' do. Because understanding their perspective can only enhance your own, and help you interpret people's actions better.
Anyways, it's interesting in a peripheral sense.
