unfortunately it will obviously be difficult to discuss the interesting aspects of religion with someone who is religious.

You are very wrong, for a fact. Few of the best writers, researches and thinkers in the academic field/s of philosophy/history of religion (sepecific religions and religion at large) are religious people (coming from a variety of different religions), and not necessarily researching their "own" religion. Also, throughout history, some of the most interesting, provocative and deep discussions ABOUT religion were between religious people, sometimes very religious people.

Unfortunately, you, as others here, have an extremely narrow idea about what it means to be religious. And the discussions here reflect this narrowness.
