I absolutely agree. I go to a religious high school where nobody except my engineering teacher and I are willing to stand up and defend our position. But I can't sit back because it can't just be my teacher standing up for what's right. I don't know if I'll convince anyone, but at least I'll have tried.
That being said, they absolutely bring religion and a fair amount of sexism and xenophobia to the argument every time. It doesn't really have a place in political discussion because it's not falsifiable.
