Right again, a common frame is lacking here. It's fairly elementary in philosophy that you cannot have a logical discussion while citing religion as fact. You're bringing extra baggage along for the ride. God needs to be dropped at the doorstep if you're ever going to have a philosophical discussion. (That is of course, unless you're discussing his existence, which isn't the topic at hand.) If I were to adopt your frame of discussion, then I would be contributing to one of the cardinal fallacies of philosophy. To put it bluntly: There is no god- his existence cannot be proven and therefore the notion is illogical. Now, on the other hand, the belief in god is logical- but only so far as to say "I believe in god." It is a fact that someone believes in something. However, someone's belief is not fact.

I disagree, both should argue their views from their respective frame of belief. Removing God from his discussion would be forcing him to cite that God has nothing to do with the topic is just as wrong as you being forced to say that he does. It takes just as much faith to say there is God as to say there isn't.
