Perhaps because even though humans are inherently logical and investigative, religion satisfies the cravings of human emotion. A lot like the addict, the religious flee to churches to receive their opiate messages of promise and safety. You cannot derive this sort of band aid comfort from the cruel facts of the natural world.
