I'm pretty sure that I did not bring religion into the argument. I never implied that anyone else was inferring anything about a divine gift. I made an analogy, and I think it is a solid one. The religious person and the parent have clouded judgment when it comes to the matters of religion and parenting, respectively.
I would argue that the parent is the last person who could accurately asses the kind and quantity (if you could quantify it) of their love for their child. Especially when the parent is assessing these things and reporting to another person. The stigma associated with claiming that you don't have unconditional selfless love for your child is sure to button up some lips.
