Well, I feel hurt when people ridicule my religion, as it is so important to me, but I think it's more about not retaliating.
In mormon churches, it's largely discouraged to ridicule the religions of others, whilst I've witnessed a couple of occasions where mormonism has been 'attacked' somewhat by people of other religions (well, I've only seen 2 occasions, but I'm sure it happens quite regularly in some religions judging by the fact that I didn't have to go to the churches very long at all to hear that).
I feel hurt by this, but I keep it to myself. I don't preach at church about the errors in the religions belonging to the people that offended me. I just keep it to myself and put it behind me.
