It's the same reason people stay in bad jobs and bad marriages. It's less effort to stay with the other caged monkeys than it is to escape the cage. Escaping the cage means bringing attention to yourself, getting punished, overcoming fear, being willing to change, and starting a new life.
Doing something about it basically requires too much effort so they don't bother with it and stick to what they know.
In fact, I think so many of these people are so scared of change they don't really know what they really believe. They are too scared to think about it because they might actually find they don't believe in it at all. So they tow the status quo line just to fit in.
