Why is this a moral issue? Because religions make it a moral issue as part of their survival strategy. If you don't have any evidence, if you can't convince people of the truth of your propositions via observation, then it pays to turn just believing in those specific propositions anyway into a virtuous endeavor. No currently extant or extinct religion can hack it in the marketplace of ideas, and so the people who author their holy books have to resort to a kind of poisoning the well, where they turn faith into a purest example of moral good, and disbelief into evil, perpetrated for selfish reasons.
A religion that proposes a god and then advocates for following the evidence where it leads is a very quickly dead religion.
