and verily, they are liars.

means, in their worship of others alongside Allah when they have no evidence for doing so, as Allah says at the end of this Surah;

وَمَن يَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا اخَرَ لَا بُرْهَانَ لَهُ بِهِ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ عِندَ رَبِّهِ

إِنَّهُ لَا يُفْلِحُ الْكَافِرُونَ


And whoever invokes, besides Allah, any other god, of whom he has no proof; then his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely, the disbelievers will not be successful. (23;117)

The idolators have no evidence for what they are doing, which has led them into lies and misguidance. Rather they are following their forefathers and predecessors who were confused and ignorant, as Allah describes them;

إِنَّا وَجَدْنَأ ءَابَأءَنَا عَلَى أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَى ءَاثَـرِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ

"We found our fathers following a certain way and religion, and we will indeed follow their footsteps." (43;23
