Why is it, that many religious (fundamentalist christians) people are not civil in debating an issue or a subject, instead they preferr to attack/condemn the person. Fundamentalist christians are not the only ones that would fits in this category.
Because they aren't interested in debating? In a debate, both sides must consider the opposition fairly and, if evidence is presented to show that the other side is correct or your side is wrong, you must acknowledge this. Fundamentalist Christians (and most Christians, in fact) cannot conceive of the possibility that they could be wrong. No matter what evidence is presented, they must reject it because their faith is stronger than the facts.

It's unfortunate but true.
