> "Motte and Bailey" would be a better accusation, if you do assert that religion is less significant to someone's worldview than their politics. No, straw man is accurate. You're going after a position they didn't take. > If you are not of my faith, you are rejecting it and saying that I am wrong about the most important thing in all of metaphysics. And potentially will be punished or doomed for that. Well that's just not true. My faith is not metaphysical and I don't think you should or will be punished for having a different one. (This is another straw man.) My statement about my faith and personal philosophy is a statement about me. My statement that you don't belong is about you. That is the difference which you misunderstand.
