Let me clarify it for you: race and gender - we get those by birth, therefore critisizing or ridiculing someone for being born of certain color or sex is offensive and inappropriate. Religion, on the other hand, is a pure choice. I can argue or ridicule your choices to my heart's desire.
Most people are 'born into' a religion too. Your parents were Jewish/Hindu/Christian/Muslim/Satanists, so you were one.
Many have religion as a habit, never start thinking for themselves, and stick to it. A few even refuse to think even if they can, as it will conflict with their religion.
And a few are so dumb that they actually turn to a religion for their 'salvation', and start typing 'G-d' instead of 'God'.

flyerwhatever refuses to write 'God' or 'Lord', as he claims that that is using his name in vain. Yet he does say 'G-d' and 'L-rd', therefor just making a different title, and therefor using the name in vain anyway. God and Lord are not names but descriptive titles.
