I don't think its necessarily closed attitude or anything to others belief from anyone though, the most important thing is to have an open debate but at the same time have an respectful debate with the mind to understand from both sides.

The thing I find on forums with lot of people who want to have a debate/conversation is that they have an hidden agenda to try and find the something and say gotcha no matter how much you explain the truth/reality of certain religious practices.
Debates one thing condescending behaviour is another...
