I constantly see Christians that are so chalked full of haughtness and arrogance. I have yet to see one admit to being wrong on a issue and constantly see them use the same arguments again and again, even after they have been shown how these arguments are wrong.
Furthermore many used dishonest tactics such as quote mining sources or in some cases using source that have been shown to be lying. Some of them also perpetuate this myth that if you dont use "bad" words your not being rude, while they make condescending posts about how they are better because they have christ. /rant
I don't think this has anything to do with religion, but fanaticism.
Fanatics hold onto a simplistic world view and they are incredibly insecure. When it is challenged, they resort to rudeness, threats, and insults. It does not matter if a person is religious or not.
Non-religious can resort to insults, religious can resort to threats of hell and the like. I have encountered it with fundamentalist Christians who will ignore all appeals to reason that I am just going to hell for not sharing their view. Non-religious, if they are fanatics, will tell me I am stupid for believing in a bearded man that lives in the clouds and that my faith is nothing more than fairy tales.
