I don’t think I’ve heard this particular response within my social circle, but I wouldn’t be too surprised to hear it from others. And in any case I do hear things which amount to, “That may be technically true, but saying it is suggesting that my religion is likely false, and implying that is really bad.”
In that sense I agree that religious beliefs tend to make people have a hard time even with general abstract truths about rationality, at least as soon as they realize the implications for their beliefs.
