Person 1: This guy isn't reliable because he bases his beliefs on religion at the cost of ignoring science
Person 2: Oh, so we can't listen to him because he's religious?
Person 1: No, the fact that he is religious doesn't matter, it's the fact that he ignores actual science and just pushes his religion as fact.
Person 2: So we're dismissing his views because he's religious?
Person 1: No, we're dismissing them because they're not based on fact but rather belief.
Person 2: He went to Harvard.

Dang, Person 1 sounds awesome. I wonder what source he would you to base his "dismissal" on. Because I know you are huge on vetting sources; right?

It could also go something like:

Person 1: This guy is an expert in the field he graduated from Harvard medical school, has over 40 years experience, including 26 years as the Cheif of Psychiatry at one of the premiere institutions in the United States.

Person 2: We dismiss his facts because he is religious; here look at this website that advocates Transgenders if you want to know the true science.

I agree it is frustrating
