Nevertheless, the religious frequently make assertions based on their religious beliefs, that ought to be refuted, if for no other reason than to point out their views are based on superstition.

I personally believe the Bible, but I reject all superstition (any belief not based on reason from evidence) and mysticism (supposed knowledge without a rational source.) You may be suprised, therefore, that I do believe in revelation, (not mystic revelation, but the kind we all experience when someone explains something to us we could never have learned on our own, like when a blind person is told by a seeing person the light is green and it is safe to cross the street). Most of our knowledge of history is also of that kind.
