well, re-reading your OP, Dum:.red herring nonsense
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT????
To the exact point of the OP, in meaningful logical debate about material/social/governmental concerns, introducing a religious consideration is a deliberate attempt to derail the discussion. Or, as Jesus said, "give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's etc...":A "red herring" is a deliberate attempt to divert a process of enquiry by changing the subject.
For example:
"I think that we should make the academic requirements stricter for students. I recommend that you support this because we are in a budget crisis and we do not want our salaries affected."
Topic A is the proposal that academic requirements be raised. Topic B is the possible effects of a budget crisis on teacher salaries. Topic A is abandoned and the unrelated topic B is introduced.
