People generally get along quite well (excluding certain regions of the world obviously) but I do find both sides are exceedingly hostile with one another on the Internet.
In fact, in my experience the religious are more aggressive Irl than atheists but, for whatever reason, it always seems like atheists are the more hostile and "rain on your parade" online... Can't tell you how many times I've seen someone say something along the lines of "stay strong, I'll pray for you" at the bottom of an article to be immediately followed by "so talking to yourself is going to help?" or something akin to that.
To answer the question though, the reasons people won't get along:
1. You're always right
2. Everyone who disagrees is wrong
3. Some people are just assholes
4. Teenagers/first year college students know more than you
