you can't just pick up faith, you need to actually believe in it. If I would stand by a certain religion I would need to believe in it, otherwise I would just be a hypocrite. As beneficial as it would sound to just adhere to a religion, thats all you would be doing is adhering. Part of most religions is that you truly believe in it, which an athiest would never be able to do, therefore adhering to a religion just because, would be a waste of time for an athiest anyway. even in christian religion, one can say they believe in God and jesus and all that, because they are hoping to get into heaven, but if they really don't believe they are still not going to get in. Basically you can't force faith.
