I'd say that people aren't against you personally.
In many ways, this site is an atheist safe space. Statements against religion are encouraged and held to a very low standard. Even if the statement is historically wrong, wildly over-simplified, or just plain bigoted, there is little chance it will be challenged.
Providing any sort of counter to that makes you a target for pre-existing emotions. You serve a useful purpose in that 1) you give people somebody to argue with, and 2) we can feel good about ourselves if we're not entirely mean to you.
