Because you're confused by science, which is vast, complex and only truly understood by a handful of people, in small parts, that each takes a lifetime of commitment to research, while the "god" umbrella gives you an illusion of understanding everything, without bothering with the "details".
Because you're afraid of death, so any idea that suggests you won't really die seems more acceptable than cold, hard facts.
Because you're bored.
I didn't say all of those reason apply to everyone.
