Actually, not a good starting point. It's probably best to use examples that none of the students are emotionally-invested in.
Once they are armed with the tools of critical thought they can work out for themselves that religion is bum-custard. After all, there's little more value in not believing in god(s) just because someone told you not to than there is in believing in god(s) just because someone told you to.
