What else can you do when you have neither facts nor evidence to promote your assertions?
True, but this isn't about faith, it's about proselytisation.

It's not so blind as 'all people who practice religion are stupid'
There are many different reasons for people to turn to faith, and not all of them are born or trained into it. Many intelligent people practice faith by choice, because there are some benefits in almost all religions one can learn or gain positive things from.

Also I dare say that religion doesn't offer anything positive that you couldn't get living a secular life.
Religion is like malware.
Well, we went from many gods to one god, and we're getting closer to the true figure all the time! That's progress, at least :D .

Look back to the Bronze Age, when, as one example, people had no undertanding of how weather operated, so they fabricated a wind god, a rain god, and an ocean god, and assumed that they went through cycles of satisfaction and anger at the humans resulting in calm weather and storms. When the Abrahamic religions were created, they knew that the large and ever-expanding Pantheons needed to be simplified - so they rolled those previous dieties into one. That was, in my opinion, somewhat a step in the right direction toward recognizing the unity of all life as a single universal entity. And/but, of course, the perpetual problem with the concept of God is the issue of non-God.
je5uz crhist, this is ta1iban lvl of indo(trination..Fundamentally, there's no difference between the Taliban and what these people are doing. They're both religious zealot cults that indoctrinate children to raise a holy army to fight a war. Also, both groups are yearning for doomsday and are actively working to achieve it.
