If you are the spiritual type, you might need a different path to God (or gods, or goddesses, etc.) than someone else. Everyone's different. For some, the strict sexual ideology of Catholicism isn't for them. Others find Islam to be sexist. Some find Buddhism just too difficult too grasp.
And as you may end up making a life-long devotion to one of these religions and their sects, you don't want to think you've led yourself down a dead end. You want to be right, and with the slippery slope of faith over fact, sometimes the only way to do that is to claim everyone else is wrong.
