The problem with that logic is that religious people more often than not don't respect the none religious or indeed those virgin to religion.

Religious people in positions of power will indulge their version of society onto others. Religious parents will indoctronate their children (often refered to as being raised with a particular religion) Inspite of the fact nothing they believe in can be proven and children are vunerable to being groomed with all sorts of rubbish.

As a result of the above comments I have made I conclude that deluded people of any sort should not be respected neither should their deluded beliefs.......

Anyone who takes advantage and grooms children with beliefs that cannot be proven deserves the most utter contempt one can give them....
