This is a red herring to avoid debating the issue on merit. A classic TV moment was when a pro-choice woman insisted that all pro-life people were motivated by religious motivations only to be confronted by Nat Hentoff (bless his sole) describing himself as an atheist Jew and the pro-life organization guy describing himself as agnostic. The woman simply would not recognize their point and ignored them. One of the most successful mind changes I've had on the topic was an atheist friend. Indeed, without any afterlife to look forward to, he felt that life was even more precious.
If that was on purpose, Bravo!

A favored liberal tactic to avoid inconvenient facts, the other tactic being getting up and leaving if the fact persists in presenting itself.
