And what value does your calling them out add to the discussion? Does it lead to an interesting nuanced conversation? Or is it immediately just people insulting each other while saying nothing other than "you're wrong"?
If it never leads to useful or interesting discussion and only leads to flame wars and arguments then it should be banned.
To the extent of "what does calling out anyone for anything lead to an interesting nuanced discussion" so should we ban calling people out?
Ultimately it's ambiguous and we need to draw a line in the sand somewhere, but it's reasonable for people to disagree where to draw that line.
Calling out irrational religious belief helps remove that pollution from the zeitgeist. It helps take damaging, incorrect beliefs out of important decision-making processes.
