it is true that it is not neutral. However, getting a grasp on the practices of your enemy is completely different from interjecting your personal beliefs, especially when there is a wide range of belief systems within your community.
Although I personally have a more alternative view on religion, I do on some level respect and encourage others to intergrate their personal beliefs into their work as it may have some karmic effect. I am all for people finding common ground and hope based on religious practices, but respect the investigation and focus on the tangible evidence that has a chance of exposing these people for who they really are.
What I do not wish to see happen is a parallel between PG and a MSM naritive about a particular religon as that is not helpful to the cause and could cause newcomers that do not associate with that religion to shy away from looking further.
The only context in which religion is appropriate is when studying what we believe those against us practice.
In all honesty, the more we take ourselves (religion, any Zionist claims, political views, ect.) out of this the better. Everyone needs to be a little bit more selfless and remove their own bias from the picture. Then and only then will we be taken seriously because they will only have our message to hear and won't be able to use us against ourselves because we won't be giving them ammo.
