Actually - lots of people- probably everyone - believe in things without evidence - and I am not talking about just religious nonsense.
We believe what we were taught to believe by people who we trusted and people those people told us to trust. And until proven otherwise - we tended to continue to believe.
Kids believe in Santa Claus because their parents told them to believe. Since they "trusted" their parents - they had no reason to doubt them and what they said - whether or not it was actually true.
And "Pride" prevents people from admitting they are wrong -even in the occasion of complete proof to the contrary. There are people who still believe in Adam and Eve - even when we can prove there were people on earth long before that supposed time. We KNOW that the earth is not a circle (A two dimensional flat object) - yet there are those who claim that this prove the bible is correct?????
Education is what will eventually end that - along with the lack of funding of churches in general. Originally - education was largely religious - but Public education removed religion and its fairy tales from the masses - and signaled the beginning of the end to religion - and religion is dying out in many western countries finally.
