I think it has a lot to do with the tendency for most religions to proselytize. I know with my background (Southern Conservative Baptist--because Southern Baptist wasn't fundamental enough for my family, no lie), they want you to proselytize with ever breath you take. That, coupled with the attitude that everyone who doesn't think like you is going to suffer in a pit of hellfire for all eternity, does not encourage an atmosphere of rational discussion and respect for differences.
