It makes sense a lot of people seek to use it when confronted with something they don't understand or are afraid of (eg. Homosexuality), but disregard it when they think they've got a handle on it (their own sexuality, perhaps).
When it comes down to it, apologetics can explain the contradictions away so nobody has to face the label of hypocrite.
Religion has famously been called religion the opium of the people. Personally I think of religion as the lobotomy of the masses.
Dying to live, living to die.
