I thought I'd clarified it earlier by implication, but I was indeed talking about that subset of nonreligious people who think that religion is *the* prime example of illogic, and who think that religious people are by definition less logical than irreligious ones.

As such, your counter-example simply has little to do with what I was talking about.

I do find that religious or irreligious people who are able to calmly discuss non-rational aspects of religion in a way that doesn't scapegoat or demonize are the treasured exception rather than the rule. But your experience may differ.
