In highschool I had a friend who was an atheist. I don't truly believe that he thought that "there is no God" but that maybe he was just confused, but i'm not say that applies to all atheists. It could also be the same for believers of a personal God.
No matters what happens in life you will believe something and life is supposed to be that way. If you don't have faith then what do you have? I find that every thread in philosophy, to me, always turns out to be the same answer.
Life is a question. Some think they have an answer to it and some don't. God or no God or Allah or Budda or ect... your going to come to your own conclusion.
So after that, I think that people in general need something to cling to, and something that provides alot of security is religion. In time of need they turn to thier God, or away from God
