I took your particular reply as accusing me of being critical of religiosity-- specifically "...ascribing anything the other team says to superstitious fools and their invisible sky man."

I took your statement about "branding people" as a statement on this perceived accusation that I was speaking unfavorably about religiosity.

Your clarification that your were comparing universal identification to Nazism makes me read your comment in a different light.
