If you don't know much about the historical context of religion and its relationship to culture, that is fine. You can assert your bias and present it as factual, but if the topic really interests you enough, then you might enjoy finding out more about it. I assure you it is very interesting and it would also help you in pointing out the faults of certain dogmas, the problem with fundamentalism and literalism in the modern era.
In a sense, if you go from a limited scope of knowledge on the subject, then add personal and cultural bias to that and then argue for it, that actually enters the territory of some religious views and the way they are held onto and promoted in the first place and I don't get the sense that you would want to promote that methodology inadvertently.
If you have your cause and it really matters, enjoy some research and find out. It can make you more effective as an agent of change.
