Dawkins explains in his book a pretty decent hypothesis regarding how evolution actually supports the development of a religious mentality. Drawing on memes rather than genes (which behave similarly), the idea of listening to one's elders without question as a survival mechanism (such as warnings about avoiding danger) is what makes them not question abominably shitty ideas like religious belief. And also why it's key to have that done at a young age rather than in adulthood.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
