So in order to be spiritually closer to god, they prefer to burn a fuel that takes much more work to gather, that creates exponentially more emissions, and that is way less efficient? Seems rather silly.

Not everybody belongs to the Church of Emissions, you see.

You are comparing a singular aspect which is antithetical to the wholesome approach. If you don't actually like chopping wood or enjoy the sight of chopped wood or brawny men chopping wood (no wonder the birth rate is so high) or any other aspect of the chore then yes it is a very inefficient process. Burning wood outside of a city is not an emissions problem IMO.

Proper wood burning devices can actually be as, if not more efficient (fuel consumption wise) than gas furnaces. Given that they also don't live in high density areas, any particulate is basically just fertilizing their crop fields. Compared to natural gas and propane, which realease a fair amount of methane (not to mention just as much CO2), and it's not the slam dunk criticism that you're thinking it is.
