Because people must believe that they can be held accountable for their actions, otherwise fatalism and nihilism will swallow them whole. Even if free will is an illusion the personal and societal power of the lie makes it worth keeping. The utility of the belief far outweighs any contradiction it has with our current explicit knowledge of the physical universe. Religion isn't systemic philosophy, it evolved from the ground up, it was naturally selected, so the fact that the doctrine contains contradiction in logic is irrelevant.
