Yes, it is a tactic, but it's due to the speaker being too cowardly to present their beliefs to you and argue them on their merits.
They want your guard down because they know their beliefs are fragile and easily attacked.
It's why Leftists such as myself don't generally do that, from what I've seen. Maybe we're wrong, but we are firm in our beliefs, and if you disagree, that's your choice.
