It's the same thing as thinking our opinions/ideologies are the right ones over the others. That's not to say we shouldn't respect others' opinions, but our opinions wouldn't be our opinion if we didn't think they were right lol. Religion is the same way. Obviously I think Christianity is right over Judaism or Islam, etc... if I didn't think that, then I wouldn't be Christian.

"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."
