That's because they've been brainwashed to believe it is so, therefore, it must be.
To challenge this by asking them for proof of the existence of a god, is to ask them to dig into a part of their brain that remains locked up because of the brainwashing that's been done. One must come into their own realization of the fact that it's okay to challenge religion. It's okay to ask the tough questions that no pastor, priest, rabbi or any other clerical authority figure seems willing to answer. Instead, when challenged, the believer is put on the defensive. "How dare you question things about god! How dare you question all the good he has done!"
Some people ask theists for proof of god's existence not because we want to be argumentative, but because we honestly want to know where he's at, if he's real. Time and time again, they point to the bible and sadly, they refuse to see how clear minded thinking people, have an issue with the accuracy and legitimacy of that book.
Perhaps it's some internal fear that has been programmed into their brains that if they so much as question why something simply "is", they will feel like a traitor to god or something. I don't get it. I broke free from religious constraints and am doing fine. I seriously doubt that the struggles I'm dealing with now, wouldn't be here had I still believed. Hell, I just think about all the shit I went through when I WAS religious and none of my pain was taken away. So honestly, my conclusion eventually came to rest at was: no, there simply is no god.
