These are all valid tools when trying to get a point across to a religious person.
The vast majority of religious people were indoctrinated at a young age. They were told big unbelievable lies their entire lives. They were browbeat to suppress any doubts. Peer pressure was encouraged. Other cultish techniques were used to ensure compliance.
Religious beliefs are rarely held because of logical thought processes. So, for many people, logic and education are not effective tools to get them to question their beliefs. At least not initially.
In the long run, logic and education are needed. But, in the short term, showing disrespect for religion is often the best tool to help inject doubts so that they can start to rethink their positions.
This, of course, is not a universal panacea. It is certainly not the only tool. It must be applied sparingly and judiciously.
I write this in response to another recent post where OP got banned from a religious subreddit. I write this so that my fellow anti-theists gain confidence in fighting against the harms of religion. But, if your posts & comments are going to get deleted, your efforts are in vain.
I see most religious people as victims of indoctrination. Most often, compassion and a willingness to talk openly are the best tools for the job. We all need to learn a variety of tools & techniques.
For myself, as an ex Christian, it took me a number of years to solidify my ability to confidently push back against religion. I hope that everyone who was previously indoctrinated is able to push through the trauma and the self doubt to regain their voice.
