Religion makes absolutely no logical sense.
For example, many christian religions tell us that, when something bad happens, it's all part of God's plan.
Then they tell us to pray and ask God for what we want.
Those two teachings are mutually exclusive. If it's part of God's plan, it will happen whether we pray for it or not. If it's not, we can pray all we want and it's not gonna happen. Your desire for more money or for your soldier to come home is insignificant next to what the ruler of the entire universe has mapped out.
My point is, religion is exceedingly illogical, and many people are starting to point that out when religion comes up.
If you've spent your whole life believing in god, and then suddenly a bunch of people are running around telling you that god is bullshit, you won't be able to come up with a logical line of reasoning to discredit that statement.
That's frustrating.
So religion has become a hot-button topic.
I agree with Mr SD that athiests are just as bad as the ultra-religious side.
The simple fact is we do not know what's out there, we don't know what made all of this, and what's more, we will never know (unless whatever made all of this reveals him/her/itself when we die). You can't prove to me that there is a god, but then again you can't prove to me that there isn't one either.
People like things that are black and white, and they get pissed off when there isn't an answer to a question, especially if they believe in an answer to that question, but can't convince anyone but small children and those who are already convinced.
