You see, we are talking about two different topics here. Argument and debate. The difference between the two is that agruing usually means both sides are looking to walk away victorious in their ramblings. Debating usually means that both sides are presenting their respective cases and accepting the fact that the opposing side will bring a different perspective to the conversation. With debate, both walk away more enlightened.
In short, people argue about religion because they think their religion is "the" religion.
