How Do We Respect Other People's Beliefs?

[abaris]

Theists often complain that we don't respect their beliefs.  I've found that they often want a lot more respect than they're willing to give. So let's explore this question. What does it mean to respect someone's beliefs and why should we?

Simple rule of thumb for me. If they don't pester me, I don't pester them. I don't go out, finding me some theists to rub my disbelief in their faces. But I expect the same courtesy in return.
