My question made cowardly bible thumpers cry.
These answers were written by normal people, aka atheists:
"Religion forms a nice fluffy psychological barrier to any existential thought. In practical terms it won't help though. Death means death."
"They are weak, and the phony lure of 'eternal life' is too much for them. So, in their desperation to live forever, they throw reason out the window and submit themselves totally to the Con Job. And of course, once they are dead, they can never find out how wrong they were."
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
