While I generally agree with this sentiment, there is no part of me that feels the need to be polite to the ones that revel in others going to hell or feel that their beliefs make them superior. Not all beliefs are equal, and I think saying that we should treat them all equally does a disservice to those who don't use their beliefs to condemn and hate.
