I agree with your point, stated the way you stated it the second time at least, I simply don't see how it really argues for subscribing to some form of religion or another. I suspect there are others here that feel the same way, they are simply so distracted by their desire to insult you effectively in the process of saying it that they have been thrown off their rhetorical game.
I made no connection between anti-religious crowd and the spark of life nor did I make a connection to the religious crowd and the spark of life. I simply called the rabble in to think about my statement.
