Try so hard to change or convert people out of words, sometimes angry words, when it would be so much either to change others and move them by setting a good example? I imitate people who have earned my respect, and feel more inclined to adopt their beliefs when I see how their beliefs make them better people...not when they try to force them on me or anyone else.
This isn't a question mocking Christians or Muslims, it's an honest question. What do you think you accomplish by verbally attacking people for your beliefs? Most people learn by example better than they learn from words, especially angry or arrogant words. When you say "I'm right because I know I'm right and you have to accept it or go to Hell." it makes people a lot less likely to listen to you than when you're kind, patient, loving, humble, and considerate. Why don't you try respecting other people's beliefs even if you "know" they're wrong just so they'll respect and being willing to learn about yours?
