Because religion for many people represents comfort, of course you will say that you can have emotional comfort without religion , and that is true but what is the reason for a religious person to let go of his comfort ? For most there is none, this is the reason why science can't destroy religion , altough it may prove that religion is wrong in some cases it doesn't give emotional comfort( psychologi does but many people go there just for clinical issues, not very popular in many countrys, in mine it is almost non-existent) , without a replacement of religion people won't leave it behind .
You can also say that ration can beat emotion , in many cases that isn't true. Why? Because your emotions are in strong correlation with your needs, ration can help you aquire and understand concepts but it can't dismiss your needs.
It is true that religion provides things like comfort and many won't give up religion because of that comfort. But less and less young people are religious mostly because of the proliferation of education. The more knowledgeable one is, the less likely one needs a crutch like religion. Many of the young well educated realise that science contradicts much of what religions teach so they are less inclined to get involved. Yesterday I saw some footage on the news of a church and the vast majority of the poeple in the church were OLD. They had grey hair and looked like they did not have much longer to live. Once that generation is gone, religion will further weaken.
