We need to stop generalizing and painting with broad brushes. Why people are religious varies and a lot of the reasons have been mentioned. It boils down to each person is their own individual and has their own reasons for their worldview, so as Vic said, ask them.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
