I think that for some this is sort of a chicken-or-egg type question.

If you're raised eyebrow deep in X faith system, then you "want the world" to be a specific way, and that's based on the teachings of X religion.

I also think that what religions *claim* to teach and what they actually teach are not always the same, so people who decide to leave their faith system of birth may get sucked into something due to false advertising (if you will), and then there is that fear factor to overcome... like "Wow, this isn't what I thought it would be, but the pit of fire and brimstone sure is scary.... *teetering...*"
