Primarily through religious propaganda (brainwashing) foisted on children well before they ever get to kindergarten.
The other day I saw a woman walking with her daughter. The youngster obviously had just started walking not too long before. She tottered over to a planter to admire the flowers. The mom said, "Who made the flowers, honey?" and sure enough the girl replied, "God did". I was stunned. She sounded like an automaton to me, you know, the "robot" we're doomed to become without free will? What free will?

Gays and atheists shouldn't worry theists. They're doing just fine in the "get 'em while they're too young to reason for themselves" department.
