What the hell is so difficult for humanity to just leave others be? Why is it so damned hard for people to understand that opinions vary and there is nothing we can do about it?

People are not all the same...some are born more conservative and need more security.

Religion often attracts those people, and religion is often part of the problem of extremism.
