Reasonable minds can differ on many issues (e.g. abortion, tax policy), but there are some behaviors that cannot be tolerated.

I think that counts more as a national moral belief rather than national lie. Not really falsifiable.

I would argue that some moral systems are objectively, measurably more effective than others. Thus, falsifiable.

To be clear, moral system = set of rules of how we treat each other - separate from the law. Spiritual beliefs are a different thing.

effectiveness may be hard to compare though, in a conclusive way.
