No, you're quite right. I see religion as being protected by the same part of the brain that wants to protect your close friends and family. It's basically a tribal response and religion takes over the group mentality and hijacks the same feelings that make you feel part of a family.

Therefore, anyone who say anything against your faith is advertising themselves as not being part of your group or tribe and nine times out of ten it is met with some form of hostility and defended to the hilt.
