Religion and politics are two topics that we consider to be infinitely bigger than ourselves. Those are the two things that also define most of our livelyhoods. When there's an argument, people often consider it a personal attack against him/herself and their families/heritage. No wonder people get so ticked about these things.

Because people take a deeply, personal, interest in each. Despite their beliefs about the "factual" nature of their belief, most often, the opinion is emotion based. When the emotions are involved with opinions, reason fails most folks and arguments prevail. Therefore, there are no "open-minded" discussions, only name calling, attacks and misinformation.

It often isn't the "personal" nature -- after all, most of us aren't directly and immediately affected by what happens in the middle east, much less by the difference between a religion and a cult. What is distinctive about these -- as well as sexual mores or financial styles -- is that there can never be a definitive answer, and that everyone has the sense that their opinion is just as valid as anyone else's. At the bottom of this rests the tension between morality and culture: the former is considered immutable, while the latter isn't. People tend to think their opinions are based on unchanging principles, while others' might not be.

People can never agree on politics because it's a constent fight. With Religion, People have different beliefs then others and some don't want to compare their beliefs.
