There are two reasons that I think people argue over religion.
1: People don't like to be thought of as being wrong. They will therefore defend their religion to the point of martyrdom.
2: People want to share anything good that they don' thave to give up to give away. By helping others to find God (or to break free of the shackles of religion in the case of some atheists,) they feel that they are doing a favor for the other person by sharing.
