Regarding religious matters, I would say that it has no meaning or value to me: it is not my path, and it is not who I am; however, in the interest of peacefully co-existing with those who are different than me, I will respect those who wish to hold religious beliefs, provided that they do so in a peaceful and civil manner (I would also expect them to hold me to this same standard in terms of my non-belief and to let me know if I'm failing to live up to it).
Classy as always.
"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."
