Because if their god is just like them, they get to feel better about themselves and can be sure that they are right.

I'm not a believer, but I still find plenty in the New Testament to calibrate my moral compass. Would that these people did some thoughtful reading of their holy book.

There's plenty, though, in the New Testament, that is downright reprehensible, and I don't think it's the best idea to recommend reading the book and counting on them to pick the morally acceptable parts.
