Non-believers have just as much emotion attached to this as a believer. This "topic" draws emotion from EVERYONE, especially non-believers.

Too many times these discussions end up with the non-believer telling the believer that they are simple minded and/or ignorant for their faith... maybe just not in so many words. Realizing that someone is basically calling me stupid
can be enough to make me mad, even if it
shouldn't... I am but a simple man.
