I mean, a religion is not such a big deal if it´s teachings are compatible with laws and morals that co-existing non-believers hold, and still people here treat religious beliefs like the plague?

If you're not willing to discuss the weak points of your religion, you can't claim that its teachings are compatible with the morals of other people. After all, how do you know this? Maybe they're not compatible, and that's one of the weak points you won't discuss.
