Many people who are religious are sensible and don't push their religious beliefs on others. The uber religious are people lacking something in their lives so they turn to the charlatans who promise them eternal life if they follow the charlatan's phony religion they're pushing. Those people are so desperate to find some guidance in life they're willing to give up their lives, their families, their friends, their homes, and their money as a symbol of their devotion to their religion.
