Well, militants are always annoying, be they Christian, lefties, Righties, vegans, meat eaters or whatever
It's because they craft their entire identity around that particular thing. It does not matter what the belief or how illogical the belief, if you question it, or are simply not prepared to go along with it, they get really angry and incoherent.
I mean I know people who are vegan or religious or atheist which are not annoying, but as you said some people make it a huge part of their identity and it sucks.
That's exactly right. Most of them have no capacity for critical thinking whatsoever.
Hence their being religious.
That would be an accurate assessment, yes.
