Note that since Islam is a philosophy and not a group of people, it's not racist to say this, despite the mainstream inclination to conflate religion with race, which is ironically racist itself since it implies all Muslims are brown people from the Middle East.

Comfort among other things. A belief system that I can build my relationship with the unknown off of in pretty much any direction I so choose, a sense of belonging somewhere, structure, meaning (partially), new questions, catharsis.
Everyone has their own way of doing things. No one knows it's not true, and if it isnt, well, it gave me structure, belonging, basis for beleif etc.if you find all that somewhere else, which I sometimes do too, awesome.

It only becomes an issue when it starts infringing on anyone else's right to be completely free from any religious influence. *shrugs*
Though, philosophically and logically, that's kind of a really saddening thing to be able to admit.

I clearly listed like half a dozen other reasons.

All sounds like comfortability in the universe to me. Rather than accept the world for what it probably is: Absurd and meaningless.
