For the same reason why gang bangers have all these Jesus depictions tatted all over their bodies.
They ain't Christians, nor are they religious.
It's hope....
They hope that God will have mercy on them.
LOL!
But Jesus says this:
"Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'
Then he says this:
"Then He will also say to those on the left hand, "Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.'
"Then they also will answer Him, saying, "Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?' Then He will answer them, saying, "Assuredly, I say to you, in as much as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.' And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."

"The term "agnostic" was coined by Thomas Huxley in 1869.
He selected the early religious sect know as "Gnostics" as a prime example of men who claim knowledge of the supernatural without justification; and he distinguished himself as an "a-gnostic" by stipulating that the supernatural, even if it exists, lies beyond the scope of human knowledge. We cannot say if it does or does not exist, so we must suspend judgement.
Anosticism, as a general term, now signifies the impossibility of knowledge in a given area. An agnostic is a person who believes that something in inherently unkowable by the human mind. When applied the the sphere of theistic belief, an agnostic is one who maintains that some aspect of the supernatural is forever closed to human knowledge. Agnosticism refers to the impossibility of knowledge with regard to a god or supernatural being"
"the term "agnostic" does not, in itself, indicate whether or not one believes in a god. Agnosticism can be EITEHR THEISTIC OR ATHEISTIC"
"The agnostic theist believes in the existence of god, but maintains that the nature of god is unknowable"
-George H. Smith

I agree.
Oh by the way, the book that it's from "Atheism: The case against god" is actually a very good book to read, regardless if you believe in god or not. I have spoken to several christians who read the book and thought highly of it. Here is a link to amazon.com and you will notice that several of the comments were made by christians. Most libraries carry this book, all barnes & noble locations have this book for $14.
