I have to be quick because I am about to go to work, so in a nut shell....
IMO, people have always been taught their religion is the only way! The only right way! All others are going to the bad place. I find this to be funny since nearly every religion I have encountered has preached or taught to be accepting and non judgemental and to pretty much "love thy neighbor". Alas, it has been my findings that the vast majority of followers do not live the words of their chosen path anyway.
Still other people are offended or put off when the topic comes up because they are used to being talked down to about their religion or judged by it.
Sorry I didnt have time to be more specific and may have left questions but I have to run.
Be Well. (No matter what you believe)
