Because religious belief is a powerful influence in society?
To use an analogy: Don't you agree that we should continually question a drug company about a medicine that has been available for decades? Or are you happy to accept the "authoritative answer", and not insist on examining the long-term safety data?

Well, logic sets us apart from the other animals. It's the best tool we have to differentiate between fact and fiction.
To use an analogy: Without logic we would still think the sun revolved around a flat earth.
