ayrt

So you're admitting that some religious beliefs are "acceptable" while others are "not acceptable"? Because "those beliefs" are also "religious beliefs".

If not all religious beliefs are the same, why in the world would you lump them together and say they must be respected?

If, for religious reasons, you believe that helping the poor is a good thing, then sure, I respect that (though I'm personally not sure why you'd need to be religious to believe that). Or say, you pray several times a day for religious reasons, okay, nothing offensive there.

If you believe any load of quackery that religion has come up with, whether it's to me, extremely unethical, or factually incorrect, or offensive in general, damn right I don't have to respect that.

The point is, a belief being associated with religion does not give it specialness that frees it from criticism, or automatically merits respect. Just because you have an irrational belief, doesn't mean I'm obligated to show that belief any respect.
