I believe it's one of two reasons, a person might fall into two camps:

1. Because of their faith it's the only way they understand the world (through that paradigm of believing in something)

2. Or maybe they can understand the difference, but they argue it that way because it makes a more convenient argument when they are trying to preach or combat atheism.

I've seen examples of both.
