Is it easier to just make fun of someone rather that trying to figure out why they are the way they are?

I guess some folks just can't be totally content within their own belief system.
I mean, even if - unknown to all of us - they were actually "correct." They cannot be happy with their "correctness;" they feel the need to school others, and sometimes quite aggressively...

People do it for several reasons:
#1 They believe their faith is right, they other is wrong and must either be converted or killed.
#2 Atheists are trying to free people from their religious dogma so that they don't dedicate their lives to a non-existent being, and therefore waste the only life they get on this planet.

Many attacks on Christians are brought on as a response to their fellow people pimping the religion like it was a drug or a pair of "fallen off the truck" speakers... If all Christians would stop bugging the rest of us to join, we'd leave all the Christians to their own business, too.

It is deemed to be cool. It is fear of the unknown. It is being tough on the internet. Why do they care what I believe. I really do not give a gas pass for their ideas. I will never meet any of them and would not care to.

The reason is because we don't understand why or how someone believes what they do, nor do we care to find out. We rather ridicule them.

Fear. People fear what they do not understand. They also fear anything that will change their comfortable little worlds. They fear things that are different than what they are accustomed to.
Fear is a great reason to attack, so I am told. Obviously we have many folks who live in fear.

some people tend to like to argue with one another while others are trying to open up the other sides minds and get angry at one another and start insulting one another

The main cause of this is intolerance, which is rooted in selfishness. Selfishness is the cause of all wrong, be it pride, envy, hate, intolerance, etc.

It usually doesn't work.
Eventually, someone proposes a constitutional amendment based on their religion, or somebody blows something up 'cause god told them to...it's awful.

Some feel it necessary to "save" others from eternal damnation, while others attack for sport.
