I don't see anything wrong with using religion to disprove religion. If someone was says to me that the story of Cinderella is true then I am going to use the story to disprove that belief. To religious people their holy texts are the highest form of truth so pointing out the problems with such texts is an important tool in debunking religion. To me, not doing so is the equivalent of bringing a knife to a gun fight.
