It is a no brainer as far as I am concerned.

People believe because they want to...like smoking cigarettes...hard habit to break.

Of course you can compare to such things - then still it is an interesting question, WHY people like smoking cigarettes. Just "because they want to" is not a sufficient explanation. For me, as a scientist, there has to be natural explanation for anything.
Also I think a drug addiction and religious believe are not exactly the same.

I don't think I waste my time reading e.g. Dennett's book at all. It is very interesting (in a scientific sense) and it helps me understand religious people better - understanding why they believe in gods etc.. Religion is a very interesting and important phenomenon in my opinion - especially when you can observe it from a neutral position.
