To clarify more overtly, here's what I said: For many/most theists, logic simply isn't the most important thing in building a worldview. Accepting that calling something "illogical" is tantamount to demonizing it is accepting the rationalist's rule set for assessing the quality of a worldview.

The key words here are "the most important" (which implies it could be important, and therefore hold interest) and "demonizing." I see I also started the comment with "I'm an off-and-on theist who thinks that religion is illogical." -- not hyperbole so much as stating that religion is not inherently bound by the dictates of logic. But I can see where you could have inferred that I meant to say that religionists are uninterested in logic.
