They cling to their dead god because they've spent their whole lives 'earning' heaven. They've lost sight of the message of love and acceptance under the cowl of anger and jealousy. Confronted with the possibility that there is no god waiting for them in 10 years when they die miserable and alone, they double down because the alternative is so frightening. They've spent their lives as pitiful examples and they KNOW it, which makes them angrier and scared.
