COMMENTS:
Uhm... aren't you stereotyping a bit?
Only a little bit. I have met very few people who do not take offense at criticism of their religion.
But I'll concede that there are some who are grown up enough to accept the challenge or criticism head on.
Because for many it's a very personal belief. Whether a certain belief or the existence of any god can be proven or not is mute. The fact remains for many that their religion is very real to them because it works for them. It's so real for some that they would consider it no less than fact. Try to seriously tell someone that two plus two equals 7 or that the current U.S. president is Andrew Jackson and you'll often get the same type of defensive response that you would if you told a devout believer that their god is false. It's the same reason why many get fueled up in political discussions.
A personal belief is largely due to personal perception ispired by a believer's experiences and understanding of that in which he believes.
He that refuses to try and see from another's eyes is blind himself.
I'm sure extreme athiests would get offended if mocked

Try working it out for yourself.
They may not be academically knoweldgeable about their faith and not be good arguers. They fear criticism because they would fall apart in a debate.
I don't get angry when people mock Taoism.
im a hardcore evolution beleiver. im sorry but religous people need to open their eyes to the truth
Voted : Is anyone 'supposed to' 'criticize' or 'challenge' other people's beliefs?!
People don't appreciate any disagreement or hostility to their beliefs, especially since they're far more than just 'beliefs', they're Facts, and Very important Facts! Life and Death, Heaven and Hell! Believe, Or Else! Believe Correctly, or your Doom is sealed!
However, it Is fun to have dialogue with others, if possible!
