Think about how scary and tough life is on your own. Think about everything bad that’s happening, and realizing that no one is in control. This we are all aware of, but we choose to confront that. Christians at least (because it’s who I grew up with so I just have the most experience) find comfort in their church. It gives them the feeling that there is someone in charge, that it’s not all just chaos but there is a plan, and rules, and a defined right and wrong. (Again, ignoring all the things wrong with the church, just from my examples).

Believing allows them to not have to worry about the world. There’s a plan. It’s not chaos. It’s safe. To me it’s very natural why people choose it, it’s honestly scary facing the chaotic real world we have, and I honestly don’t think most people can handle it.
