Because some people have been raised in an environment where there's no option but to believe in a vengeful being who watches you at all times and will punish you for the slightest mistake, for example. Or who has already damned you unless you persuade yourself that having sex with your boy/girlfriend was evil. Or will throw you in a lake of fire if you admit you're gay.
And whilst many people are happy to be religious, it doesn't fit some people very well, but they may not realise they have an option.
