Why does religion continue to grow?

If you look back through history, "people's choices" have often been staggeringly wrong, for an awfully long time, before they are corrected. I know you're about to fart on about how, therefore, people's beliefs in evolution are probably wrong too, or some shit like that, but the point is that belief by population is in no way an indicator of truth, as the flat earth, slavery, geocentrism and so on aptly demonstrate. It's belief by evidence that counts, and on that score, your religion is still at zero.
