This is not the reason most people believe, but it's what drives them to believe and is the biggest factor. They have so much emotional attachments that causes them to really want to believe which causes them to become severly bias towards their religion, unable to see the flaws of their thinking. Been there, done that.

They believe mostly due to their want to believe, which is due to many factors, but mostly out of attachment to family and parents.
The biggest factor in their belief is the FEAR that was instilled in them as children. Now they "want" to believe because they're fearful as shit that if they don't, their "soul" will spend all eternity in hell (away from their family and parents, who, of course, will be in heaven).
