I wasn't equating them except in the singular idea that they are more bad than good. So no fallacy there. It was rhetorical, but not fallacious. However, if I wanted to play devil's advocate I could push the memetic idea of religion as a mind-virus, point out the great harms of religion, and assert they are more alike than you may suppose. But I have no need of that game. Rather it is obvious that my statement was designed to highlight why your prior comment was irrelevant to the argument at hand.
X is simply the set of things that are harmful. Both religion and smallpox belong to set X. Thus we should desire both to be eradicated. The only argument is whether or not you think religion doesn't belong in set X. That is all.
Or to put it another way, why wouldn't you want a religionless world?
