Well, I think a lot of it based on fear. If you're taught from a young age that it is a fact that not being a Christian means eternal suffering in the worst place imaginable, of course you're going to choose the boring sermons and ridiculous stories simply out of fear of that place.
As well as this, I think people are scared of dying. Scared of the nothing that follows death and will choose anything that they can use to ignore that fear and replace with blissful ignorance. As an atheist I think a fear in nothing after death is absurd. We've been dead for billions of years before we were born, and there was nothing terrible about it. Was the year 1900 a terrible year for you? Nope... well the year 2100 will be no different.
