Why do people's belief systems become offended when a challenge is made to their statements?

Absurd Example:

Jim "The wise man Rufus brought Jesus gifts!"
Tom "Are you sure about that? I don't think that one of the wise men was named Rufus."
Jim "How dare you make fun of my religion? You liberal aethiests are all the same!"

Is this something new in our society? Are people that fanatic that they've completely lost sight of things (moreso than in the past)? Sigh... just a rant I guess. People are so silly.
