This is used in various belief systems to instill and reinforce deeply held beliefs in the absence of any evidence apart from the manufactured social proof. If one is experiencing doubts, they are told to try telling others that what they doubt is actually true. One example of the phrasing that might be used: "You have to share your testimony to strengthen it."
No doubt the technique of manufacturing consent through reflected BS is pervasive elsewhere too, in marketing, politics, etc.
