Is that not a rather shallow way of avoiding truth for religion's rather false version of truth?
Or rather, cognitive dissonation?
I don't see how. I feel confident enough in my beliefs that other people not believing it doesn't bother me. That's all there is to it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
