Given that many religions differ in their tenets, to assert that "not all religions are all true" is an indesputable fact. That someone might identify with such a statement and so be offended is also a possibility, and therefore, could be judged by these rules to be an aggregious incivility punishable by banishment from participation for a significant period of time.
It is clear that facts can be uncivil. If I were to assert that all people are not perfect, this fact would be similarly uncivil because undoubtedly there might be some reader who believes that he or she is perfect.
