That's probably the worst part of any large group that believes in something (Whether it be God, Jesus, Super Jesus, a global conspiracy, xenu, or whatever stupid bullshit people come up with). They almost always seem legitimately surprised when someone disagrees- thus they react as if you're saying "Uh, sex doesn't make babies. They come from storks".

And if not surprised, they instantly reject what you have to say (regardless of how much they let you talk to make themselves feel nice), usually tagging you in their mind as some negative group associated with their belief (that can often be lumped in with any other negative group as "them" or "they"). See: Westboro Baptist Church for an example.
