Asking what someones priority is, is not a false dichotomy. Well, yes it is. When you ask them if they prioritise freedom OR "something else", regardless of how nebulous you want to be with your definition of "something else", you're setting up a dichotomy. The "either" is unwritten, but logical understood. My argument is that it's a false one.

How is asking someone if they have a higher priority than freedom a false choice? Many people place security above freedom. You seem to think that your religious belief is a higher priority. It is simply a question of priorities, what do people value the most?
It is not an either/or question that you are trying to imply.
My argument is that it's a false one.
How is 'prioritizing' false?
