You recall correctly.

The same rhetorical trick is employed here on DU when a religious topic is brought up that some do not want to discuss.

Example:

Person 1: "Whoa, here's this story about a woman who killed her kids trying to give them an exorcism. How can we tell the difference between sincere religious beliefs and delusions?"

Person 2: "ZOMFG, I can't believe you just called all believers mentally ill insane murderers! You atheist bigot!"

*insert facepalm here*
