7. Because they have been brought up to "believe"

and I don't mean the gospels...I mean they are raised to NOT question authority. They know that lies are being told them to uphold their religious beliefs by their pastors all their lives.....they are told and they believe that those lies are all for the goal of keeping the faith. That their belief in their particular brand of Christianity is what is most important so questioning is not allowed. Therefore they do what they do without a second thought about what it means....they don't ever second guess.
