There's just no "nice" way to tell a person you don't believe in the bullshit they believe in.
You might be right. However, it is interesting that such an answer would be straightforward and honest from my pov (that is how I would describe myself in a nutshell on such matters), but from another person's pov, it could be easily perceived as negative.
I liked your answer. Personaly, if it were me, I wouldn't see it as a passive aggressive insult at all. The thought didn't even cross my mind.
"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."
