Why is the topic of religion so offensive?

I am just curious as to why people get so upset at the mere mention of religion? Some people, all they have to do is see a religious topic, or a religious phrase and they automatically put their claws out and shut out what people say. I myself have never been that offended by religion (even when I went through a slight agnostic phase) so much that I would get angry if someone merely mentioned it, but I was just curious as to why something that can bring so many together, can also be so divisive as well? Is there any way to discuss/mention religion or religious topics without it causing people to be on the defensive, or getting upset about it?
