That they do.
I'm not sure what the answer is. It's hard for me to say having never experienced it. Maybe one of our ex-theists can enlighten me.
I guess they think following God is making them do those bad things less, even if that's not actually true. If, for example, someone has been indoctrinated from birth, they will have nothing to compare to. So they can simply be told they would do the bad things more, if they didn't "follow God", and be programmed to believe it.
Kind of like everyone generally assumes their childhood is normal, until they have someone else's to compare to.
