britbear said something that I'd never seen expressed so succinctly:
"The problem is people don't put their faith up for debate. It's not a topic that comes into the realm of reason and discourse. It is socially (and often legally) wrong to challenge the tenets of someone's faith. Yet the deductions they make from their faith shape politics and social norms. If you can't debate the root belief how can there be any real debate about how society should be organized and what is acceptable/expected?"
