It's normal, but not so much to 'argue' as to 'debate'. Obviously in an ideal world people would respect others for their beliefs in an informed way and nobody would try to shove their thoughts down each others throats but I think that just comes from people's desire to want to appear as if they know what they're talking about, not to convert others (though I'm sure there are those kind of people around).
Perhaps I don't know enough militants, but debates have never escalated to arguments anywhere other than on the internet in my experience.
I don't think Christians don't go by faith alone, there's a good deal of logic involved in the thinking it took to got to some ideas! And there are more than two opinions - it's about theists in general :)
People will always try to 'win', but as you say, there's no real way of doing so.
IIN that I think its stupid for Christians and Atheists to argue?
