Lots of people simply don't realise that they have a choice, that they don't have to be religious (or atheistic, I suppose).

It's way easier to quit being a Christian than to quit being an aetheist imo.

That's probably true. It certainly was for me. I lost my so called faith (I was brought up christian, but not devout) around 18 years old.
I used to cheat from time to time, i.e. pray to god if I was feeling really badly or hurting (hung over :P) but I hadn't done that for many many years until I got my heart completely broken. Felt like such a hypocrite at the time but the pain was just too unbearable. I haven't done it since then. Maybe I'm a closet christian but there's just so much about religion/faith that goes against every fiber of my being (sceptic/pessimist/realist).
