I also know smart capable people who acknowledge that christianity is mostly b.s., but they still go to church, because that's what they have always done, it's what all their friends do. Their whole social life is built around it.

They cling to it because they can't bear to think of life without it. It's the 'cornerstone', literally. They even refer to it that way in some churches.
