Shouting isn't one of them WIGwJAM.
As far as I understand it; these people are of the opinion that if one does NOT believe in a deity then said deity ceases to exist. Or retribution will be visited on the "believers" for allowing your disbelief.
Another point is that being the 'good little slaves that they are'...should one even question the master one is going to bring dire consequences on the whole. Elitism also plays a very strong motif in the espousal of xtianity (irrelevant of sect) and mostly boils down to "my deity is a bigger dick than your deity= I am so much better than you for believing in my preferred deity {insert sect/cult here}"
It has nothing to do with morality, justice, brotherly love or "turning the other cheek" as much as most xtians like to think it is. It is essentially an "Us v Them" syndrome/ mentality that humanity has yet to extricate itself from.
my 2c :S
