I guess, it's "normal" venom to be for or against this or that religion.

And I guess, it's "unusually venomous" to talk about uncomfortable details of a religion itself.

You know, while a superficial debate about religion is acceptable, it's impolite to bring up parts of the religion that the believer himself would rather not bring up.
