That's true, I'll acknowledge that you cut some of that out, and that is a help in our communicating when we do.
Most of the discussers here do speak/type what they think with logic at hand - or logic to them - most of the time, however well expressed or not - and most of us long timers have gotten off the wall from time to time, usually over something heartfelt. That doesn't benefit any of us as argument, but happens in a fairly free talk with people of very different views.
Some are totally controlled and freaked when they lose it - but to some extent, it is a way of getting to know what people care about. I think we are all learning how to argue, even the sharpest of us, and most of us get that typed rage isn't useful in getting a point across.
Views on religion vary here. Some of the people who have least use for it admire some people who are religious. I spent some years in rage myself, and can get there again in some circumstances, but have mellowed. I remember myself as a believing catholic, not all irately, just parts of it - my experience was intense.
It's natural that there will be different views to gold einstein. Battering with quotes is a kind of spam and won't be received well, even by some believers.
That probably has more to do with internet forum behavior than particular beliefs or non beliefs.
