It's all about hope.
If I dropped a huge priceless diamond in an olympic sized swimming pool and told you that it's definitely in there, all you have to do is find it with your hands. The reward is just too much to not keep trying to find it. You will spend your whole life with any spare time you have jumping in trying to find that elusive whopper of a diamond.
We all know there's nothing in the pool, but indoctrination is what planted this diamond seed story in a theists mind originally. After spending a lifetime searching, why ever stop? What can possibly be achieved by stopping now?
This is the carrot which theists cannot and will not shake off... Because, what if?

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
