Some people don't like change. If you challenge a lot of people with facts, no matter how factual and obvious they are to us, they can still reject them. See intelligent design. Religion is impossible to disprove because it's all based on faith, which is what makes it so easy for people to believe in.

I believe a lot of people are basically brainwashed into their religion, and that many people do believe they will go to heaven and all that. Their belief system is a way of life for them.

That being said I was raised catholic and went to a catholic school for 13 years and i basically call myself an atheist now.
