Relying on faith is what a lot of people do. Thats the thing that keeps them hanging on is faith in God. I've known a lot of people (As an atheist/individual I attended Bible Study with my ex, who knew I didn't believe but I went along with him) who close their eyes and think anything that doesn't follow their guidelines is bad or unholy. I could not BELIEVE what these people talked about! I actually had to go into the bathroom because their views on the world were so wrapped up in "God made this and wanted them to do that" was so far fetched I had to stop myself from an outburst. I don't remember what the topics were but I remember having to be told to be quiet. I guess I just have a natural curiosity and realistic view of the world and universe.
