What was the phrase for when you make people think something is going on when actually the exact opposite is going on, in order to make them even more aware and willing to think a certain way?

Example: Let's say Christianity was on the rise. You want it to stay that way. You go to Christians and show them some minor study showing that for the past two weeks Christianity has dropped .5%, and you tell them "LOOK! CHRISTIANITY HAS BEEN ON THE FALL! SOON WE WILL ALL BE ATHEISTS!" and they panic and hold on to their beliefs even tighter.

Sorry, English is not my first language. Can you help out guys?
