Religion is a very sensitive topic because when you try and deploy a rational or logical approach, the pious populace demand you have faith, even though they were the ones proposing a logical rationalization from the onset
For example, I can never engage in any religious discussion with my father because it will lead nowhere. On the other hand, I find it compelling to pick my mom's brains about religious text and its interpretation, because she is open to discussion.
If we closely analyze the Quran for example, we will find there is nothing there that says alcohol is forbidden (this was introduced much later by one of the caliphates) or that Hijab is mandatory.
