Because some classes should have certain skills. Rogue should have Thievery. Wizard should have Arcana. Paladin or cleric? You should have Religion. Going Paladin/cleric gets hosed RAW, okay, but do you really want a MC Wizard without training in Arcana? That's even worse. So go ahead and treat it as Skill Focus, in a home game. That seems fair to me. But understand why a Wizard should get training in Arcana, and you'll understand why a Cleric should get training in Religion.
Paladin multiclassing as a cleric

Unless your picking the multiclass at 1st lvl you can retrain religion the level before picking Cleric. Its wierd not having religion trained for a lvl and suddenly your a "Cleric" of that religion...
Unfortunately this is not RAW =(
PHB Pg 28 Retraining Skills "You can’t replace a skill if it’s required for a feat, a power, or any other attribute you have, or if it’s predetermined by your class"
Paladins have religion predetermined.
