It's because Christians generally "think" that you can not be a good person if you don't believe that some carpenter walked on water and rose from dead 2000 years ago. Not just good person, but also their nationality in countries that are mostly Christian. And the only way to become Christian is if you're pressed into it as a child.
Also if you don't believe that he walked on water you'll go to hell and be tortured forever, which - according to them - is the worst thing that can happen to you and Christians would do anything to stop you from getting in that position.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
