I think the simplest is that we are biologically designed through evolution to follow our parents or those raising us. I think us being designed to be prone to follow false religions when their is a huge consequence to that is the worse explanation because it rewards people who follow religion that happens to be the right one for the same reason it punishes people who happen to follow religions that are false, as well, as having a consequence for something most of humanity is practically destined to do by design, seems quite evil of the designer.
