Sorry but debate is an open contest and religion is one of many possible paradigms which can be applied to an argument. What I definitely agree with, however, is there are topics where the religious paradigm is inferior to other paradigms so the person taking the religious approach comes across foolish, annoying, and nonpersuasive. But that's their mistake to make. They're still entitled to open their mouths and insert their foot into it.

 Very poetically put.

I'd rather save the poor misguided sheep though.

... Did I just make a bible joke?

Keeping out mention of religion is only a valid demand where
(a) religion has no bearing on the discussion
(b) religion is not the basis upon which the argument is made.

If someone's opinion is formed based on his religious crud...I mean, creed, then his mentioning his religious views is fair play. For example, claiming the need for "one nation under god" or that "abortion is murder" are not about religion is a lie no matter how many times the Goebbel proteges try to make the claim.

Impossible. We all are of different creeds. What if I reversed it? "All atheists have to stay out of arguments with relative moral behaviors. You are only normal if you believe in God" Even if we agree about issues for different reasons, it still isn't fair. Many ways to look for God but one way to deny him, so it seems. But many ways distort God, even the way that denies God.
