why is it that religion gets people so angry when people don't agree? I'm guilty of these unwarranted feelings too, although I don't quite understand why.

Probably because religious beliefs can make up a significant amount of a person’s attitude, moral values and lifestyle. Most religions define what a person believes is right and wrong, and provide a set of rules to live by.
Religion also serves as a sort of comfort, with people taking the idea of an afterlife/deity as comfort for the terrible things in the world, not to mention the thought of death.
That’s pretty big stuff, so having another person come along and tell you you’re wrong can shake you up big time.
