I don't think there is one relgion out there that is easy to believe. Why are they all so far fetched?

I wouldn't call them "hard" to believe ---- more like "impossible" when you consider all the available facts.

Religions are easy to believe. They use very strong emotional arguments to sway people to believe them. And humans tend to be biased towards believing those emotional arguments. That's why religions push the vague idea of the "Love of God" or threaten you with burning in "Hell" on the "Judgement Day" if you don't have "faith" and "repent". All of those are meant to be emotional tugs.
Religions are only hard to believe when you really examine what they are claiming and use a bit of reason.
Humans have been emotional animals for far longer than they have been rational ones.

You might think so if you allow worldly truth to blind you to spiritual truth. But then, an "easy-to-believe" religion would be like the "proof of God" that many atheists insist on--the spiritual equivalent of pap. God wants us to grow and mature spiritually, not to be infants for all eternity. To do that we must exercise our faith by trusting in Him.

They have to try to explain a large number of things we do not understand with a very, very small amount of knowledge.
Oh, the tangled webs we weave.
I won't go into the deceive part.

Because it asks us to put our faith in something with circumstantial evidence. What evidence is given is subjective so no two people will look at it the same anyways so it really becomes more does this fit me rather than do I fit it.

You can't go by your feelings cause they'll lead you wrong, you can't go by some preachers or and gospel songs, you can't go by the church, or being baptized, but theres one thing you can go by ;you can't go by religion, or what others say, you can't go by the prayers you said on the way, you can't go by your good livin , cause one day you'll die, but theres one thing that you can go by... Just go by what Jesus has done, just go by your faith in the Son, just go by the old rugged cross, just go by His blood paid the cost, and whenever your doubting that the victorys been,won just go by what Jesus has done.
These are the lyrics of a song that are so true, I just thought I would share them with you.

because they are manmade rules, its up to us individually to seek out God and He will show you the truth. Ya know the religious experts asked Jesus what the greatest command was, and Jesus said to Love God, love others as you would yourself. That pretty much sums it up. If you really think about it, if you really loved God and others you wouldn't do anything to harm them right? Well God will see that in your heart and honor that.

This will sound very harsh, but, Jesus taught that ONLY his sheep here his voice. If you don't GET IT then you have not been called out yet. Sorry. (Read the Bible daily, pray for wisdom and understanding, if the Holy spirit speaks to you you will know what else you need to do on this matter)
