I may dislike someone's beliefs, but I generally will only dislike them because of how those beliefs translate into behavior, or because of a substantial conflict in values. I have a friend who is a retired Episcopalian priest, and another who is a retired non-denominational pastor. We all share similar values, despite our differences in beliefs.

I care a lot more about the kind of person one is vs what one believes.
