Consider this: it doesn't say antichrist. It says 'man of lawlessness'. Could be the same or related or could be totally different. It is also called the 'Mystery of iniquity'. It causes people to fall away, however it is difficult to identify. If we could easily identify and dispense of it then it would not need to be revealed.

It could be many things, however as an example it could be psychological. Not all people are the same. Perhaps it refers to 20% of people or 10% or 1%. On the other hand maybe it is not psychological Maybe the man of lawlessness is due to something in the air we breath or something in our water. It is a hidden thing, whatever it is. It is something which causes us to fall away.

Well yeah, verse 11 speaks about "powerful delusion" being sent by god. Buddha describes a person whose mind has been over come by greed, hatred, and/or delusion: "he takes life, steals, commits adultery, and tells lies; he prompts another too, to do likewise."

Sounds like lawlessness to me, which spreads from person to person among those inclined towards greed, hatred, and delusion.
