One point of view accurately reflects reality and the other doesn't. Both sides believe themselves to be right. That in and of itself is certain to cause conflict given human nature.
I think it is an important debate to have because a lot of religious people have just excepted their faith without really thinking about it. At least if they see both sides of the discussion they can make their minds up for themselves. Who knows you could even convert a few atheists if the arguments are compelling enough. Of course there will always be shitstorms and pointless name calling but name a controversial issue that doesn't.
Also if for example someone tells me I am not allowed to masturbate because of what is written in their holy book that I don't even believe in, then I don't think it's unreasonable for me to tell them to piss off and mind their own business.
IIN that I think its stupid for Christians and Atheists to argue?
