I just learned about the backfire effect from this post by The Oatmeal. I feel it explains a lot of the behavior of the religious in regards to atheists and atheism. (The Oatmeal post is a pretty fun read, too!)

....I have to think long and deep about how 1+3 = Tacos?
I like tacos, so 'meh' and 'ok I'm in'...Tacos it is all the way
(good post by the way) 
I'm surprised that I've never heard of this before, nor have I seen it discussed on DU.
And, for some reason, now I want tacos.
