Because religion is all about accepting stuff to be true because someone told you so, without thinking for yourself, aka faith.

It lets you justify anything because anyone in the "in" group (Christian, Republican, etc.) is by definition good, and has such everything they do is good. If it seems bad, there's a grand hidden plan you don't know about.
