I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that it's because their holy book is fake, and his is real.
Or something like that.
This is the sort of thing I see making the religiousite's skin crawl. If another 'holy' book is demonstrably false, is it possible my 'holy' book is false??
I think this underscores some of the wacky ecumencalism we see too. If all (most) religions have some truth in them, then maybe mine is less unthinkably false, and rather, just more correct.
Religiousites do not happily or easily entertain thoughts they may be participating in a false religion, contemplating other religions as being false can be uncomfortable too, unless they are highly dissimilar or distant.
