That depends on your point of view.TangerineSteve17 said:SWP. As long as they aren't preaching, why can't you respect the belief of a religious person? Simply on the grounds that they are human, that they, through whatever study or chance, have landed on the idea that Islam or Christianity or whatever it is, is their truth.
I'm not religious, but I can respect another person's belief. I don't agree with it obviously, I think it's probably a load of bollocks like you must do, but as long as they're good people why does it matter.. especially to an Atheist.
It's such a big thing to say you don't respect another person's beliefs. It's only having due regard, a little bit of humility and consideration.

There are many across the world who view religion as being regressive to humanity and society. Why would you expect them to give respect to a series of doctrines which they feel are detrimental to human progress? You can ask others to respect peoples religious views, but are you also willing to respect and defend those who do not respect religion? Both are equally valid viewpoints.
Because a belief is a belief. I can seperate the person from the belief but I refuse accept that any belief deserves respect.TangerineSteve17 said:SWP.

You can ask others to respect peoples religious views, but are you also willing to respect and defend those who do not respect religion? Both are equally valid viewpoints. There are people registered in this country as 'Jedi' for example. Now whilst i'm not claiming that people cannot express being registered as a Jedi if they so wish, i'm making the comparison that others might view those who take Jediism seriously as being someone who might need to get their priorities in order...

I have no issue respecting theists if I think they are good people, but I'll never respect a belief that is irrational whether they have landed on Islam or Christianity or Yogic fucking flying 'as their truth'.
If they never wish to discuss religion with me then fine, if they want to bring it up, I'll be more than open with my views on it.
