Because they do not take the time to research their religion. They take the word of what has been told to them by someone else. I believe that if every person in every religion sat down and did the proper research that they would come to the conclusion that Christianity is the only religion that has been proven time and time again as factual. Mormons take the word of Joseph Smith as fact and there is not one thing he says that can be proven. The same can be said of Muslims.

They do all have the correct story.
Look at Yahoo Answers under a category like maintenance and repair. For any given question about an auto/engine problem we get many different answers. Each answer has generally worked for someone before. Each answer has a different level of detail.
That's the same with Religions. Same answer, different degree of detail.

Money, that's all it's ever been, from the numerous religious relics that were on display in medieval churches throughout Europe, to the vast financial clout of the Roman Catholic church.
Only fanatics and idiots believe their own religion is the true religion, and it's just an excuse to extort more wealth. The formula is self explanatory, the more flock you entice to your church, the more money you can tap up

Not all do. Some believe truth to exist in all paths. The ones that do believe they are right fall under the human error of believing that if one thing is correct, all comepting theories must necessarily be wrong. This is a false dichotomy and is one of the roots of evil in this world.

That's not necessarily true. It is with monotheistic religions, but the way a polytheistic religion is set up, one HAS to be able to accept other views, while still being strong to their own. It's not a matter of "right" or "wrong" but more along the lines of "this path is right for me, maybe not to another person."

Because they would be really realy stupid if they followed a religion which they believed to have the wrong story.

Because religion must be taken on faith, many have little tolerance, and go against the basic principles of their own religion.

Because religion is based on faith and hope.
Faith the believe in "something that you can't see or touch" ; is a drive toward something without question.

Because of misinterpretation. With Protestantism...everytime someone doesn't agree with the interpretation, they start their own church. So you end up with many religions, so to speak.
Martin Luther, the one who started the Protestant Reformation, said...I tried to get rid of one Pope and I created hundreds.
Thus we have the many branches of Protestantism.
