Because people of religion, deal with "absolutes". They have to, that is why it is called "faith".
Religion is the lynch pin to a lot of hypocrisy.
It is strange, when people are in distress that they call upon God more often. We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it's there for emergencies but he hopes he'll never have to use it.
