I think it's an effect of proselytism. Sort of like if the gym pressured me to join and I never went, but then if people asked, I'd be like, oh yeah, I'm totally a member at the gym.
Many people are religious for dubious reasons. Christianity, because of its particular stance on proselytism (compared to, say, Judaism), is fairly widespread in the US. That means you see more dubious Christians. I'm sure there are dubious wiccans and dubious buddhists, too.
What the hell am I doing posting here right now? I have homework.
