The same reason why some choose to beleive into 2000 years old fairy tales… makes life easier.

Not better… not more fulfilling… average person perfectly happy if tomorrow is as today… as a matter of fact, they will stay “happy” even if tomorrow slightly worse than today… especially if you can point to other people and “explain” that they are the reason.

That you spend your days on the internet incessantly making this argument like it matters, or will change someone's mind, or that the imaginary points that some random strangers will give you for regurgitating it validate you paints an interesting picture

To be fair… I do have very little patience with religion(s) in general and institution of “church” in particular. And you probably can find dozen comments from me on the subject (though considering how old my Reddit account is… it most likely will be less than 1 comment per year :) )

Say they're right without saying they're right. Religion is just copium, especially when it's your personality.

My favorite part of posts critical of group think/faith/religion/etc is that inevitably some religious person will get so triggered that they will unwittingly prove the point made by the critics. Its like clock work. They cant help themselves.
