Historically/anthropologically, conforming to the beliefs of the society you live in is the most logical thing a human can do for their survival.

In the sense that people who aren't really religious go to church to conform?

In the sense that people who aren't actually being watched by a higher power will legitimately believe they are because believing anything else can be hazardous to their health.
