Because if you don't the REALLY REALLY stupid people will burn your house down?
Because Mankind fears his temporary status as a "thing" in the universe... and some Gods promise eternal life?
Because that's what they were taught all their life?
There are MANY reasons people believe in Gods and such...
The most common excuse I have heard all my life is... " Well, I'd rather believe and be wrong than NOT believe and be wrong"
Its kinda like a spiritual insurance policy to them...
