One of the reasons's why some people don't want to accept or believe in Jesus Christ is because they don't want to give up their pride and religion.
Religion is a false cloak of pride to appear to be serving GOD.
Religion give people the sense of self righteousness where they can go out and show people how religious they are and how ( self ) righteous they are.
Accepting and believing in Jesus Christ is humbling, and you have to humble yourself before GOD.
Being saved by Grace, the Grace of GOD, takes away the self boasting and pride one has of their own self righteousness.
That, there, is one of reasons who some people can't, won't, accept Jesus Christ, their pride won't let them, until GOD humbles them.

Anyone who is "religious" without a personal relationship with G-d is in trouble, spiritually speaking. I have a very personal relationship with the G-d of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Look to King David as a model, he was a great King, yet humble, a murderer but forgiven, a flawed human being, but G-d called him friend, a man after G-ds heart. The longest chapter in all of scripture is Psalm 119, 176 verses of David praising the Law of G-d.

I am saved by Grace. Just as all of us are. Whenever we approach G-d and repent, turn from our sin, with a broken and contrite heart, we are forgiven. Why? By the grace of G-d.

Ps 32:5I acknowledge my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin.

Ps 51:15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

I am ever mindful, in our daily prayers of the power of G-d, the creator of the universe, King of all nations, Father and friend. And I am humbled as David wrote: 6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
