I'm interested to know what people think about this.

In debates that don't directly involve religion, does using religious quotes count as a valid argument for that debate? Like does a religious argument have valid standing in a debate about abortion, rights, or politics if they do not involve religion as part of the debate.

example of debates not on religion: abortion, political debates not involving religion, legalization of illegal drugs.

examples of debates involving religion: Creationism vs. Evolution, Atheists...they go to hell, Why to believe.

Just for people who are a bit confused, do you think arguments based on religion (like saying: "You can't do this because it's against god's will") in debates that are not on religion (see above) count as valid arguments?

What do you think?
Depends on the situation, the argument, and the quote.
