Seems very difficult if not impossible to talk about religion without someone getting all upset. Do people really think you're attacking their faith just by openly asking questions or giving differing opinions on things?

I would think if your beliefs are strong enough you wouldn't feel threatened by someone who happens to disagree, but the hostility always seems to come out anyway. History shows that people have been killing each other over religious disagreements nearly since time began.

Even though most religions have some version of "love thy neighbor" at their core, visceral hatred of those who follow a different faith seems to be sadly very common. What is there about religion that brings this out?
