Wouldn't that ultimately depend on who's giving out the respect?
I tend to respect everyone as a default. (even though it may not be readily apparent to them)
They don't need to earn my respect, it's automatically given to them freely.
Kind of like Jesus supposedly offers grace freely.
All they have to do is accept it.
However, my respect can be lost.
And when it is lost, then it will need to be 'earned' back.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
