I talk about religion quite often. It's one of my favorite subjects. And, yes, there are quite a few people who aren't will to even broach the subject. Many people seem to be brought up to believe that religion is something you just don't question, i.e., you don't talk about it or discuss it. When a thoughtful religious discussion is brought up, they become noticeabley nervous, even if the conversation is calm and well balanced.
Perhaps they are expecting proselytizing, perhaps they just don't have the tools needed to discuss religion. It's kind of funny, but (and I'm generalyzing here) it appears to me that the people that go to church every Sunday are the ones that know the least about religion and are least able to discuss it rationally.
