I think responding "whoop dee doo" is somewhat rude. Maybe she was just poking fun at that and not trying to "keep you quiet" haha

I don't think the article is saying that it is "requisite". It's an observation that we may not be as familiar with other religions as some other groups. I also think it's easy to understand that understanding others beliefs can help us to find common ground and develop meaningful relationships with others.
