That's your opinion, and you are entitled to it.  But I'll note that 
you're conflating "reasonable people" with "reasonable about religion" 
and the two are different.

Maybe you don't hang out with a crowd that does that.  Try hanging out 
with die-hard Utah Jazz fans and tell me there's a difference.  I find 
many of those hard-core sports fans to be much more obnoxious than people 
who practice a religion, or who claim to.

You think I'm wrong, try wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey near the Energy 
Solutions Arena here in SLC on game day.  Or, for a real treat, try 
wearing a Mets jersey in Boston (or for that matter, to a Yankees game).
