Because, as Alex said earlier, some people have experienced things which
demonstrate that religion is not simply a matter of superstition.

I, for one, have seen a few things (no, not fake "healings" on some
televangelism show, but in my life) which say to me that there is plenty
of merit to religious belief.  These things that I've seen, which you may
or may not care to hear, aren't such spectacles as plagues and sticks
turning into snakes and people rising from the dead and all that, but
more along the lines of the changes I've seen in people that simply would
not have happened their own.  I'd give specific examples, but it would
take up quite a bit of space here.
