Well that's a lot better than being an athiest in a muslim country which often results in death, torture, inprisonment, persecution or even put in mental asylums.
There are lots of reasons that cause people to be religious anyway and stupidity is only one of them. The most common is the culture you are brought up in. I broke away from my christian upbringing when I was 13 approx when I realised it was complete nonsense and had no connection with reality but in my environment it was completely safe to do so which is not the case in many parts of the world where to be safe you still have to pretend to believe.
