I respectfully disagree.
I think a hypothetical example is useful as it allows you to probe the underlying meaning of someones argument without providing a specific example. The absence of such a religion allows someone to sidestep an issue, the hypothetical situation provides a situation where they can describe how they would respond if actually faced with that situation.
