Questions regarding religion and politics seem commonly fit this mold. Any reason other then making a statement or in leading responses towards their bias?

Because they want to either:
Make other's think the same way
or
Reaffirm their belief is the correct one.

There are many reasons people ask questions. Asking questions does not always indicate the person is looking for an answer. In a forum, such as this, often it is to provoke thought, conversation, share ideas, educate, and so on. So many people think just because someone posts a question, that they do not know an answer. That is often not the case. Yahoo Answers is designed to share knowledge, ideas, provoke thought and conversation.

Its called looking for answers that support you presumptions.
Haven't you ever noticed that the smartest people that you meet are always the ones who agree the most with your views.

They're promoting their beliefs and throwing in a question mark only for looks, since it's supposed to be a question.

Why are you asking this question when you've already made your mind up about the answer?
