You are right. We should try to respect them as equals.
Also, I would say if you want to disprove religion, you shouldn't do on subjective basis. For example, the issue of God torturing disbelievers is appeal to moral emotion, and is subjective. It being subjective doesn't mean it doesn't relate or is grounded in objective morality, it's just that we can't prove it in an objective manner.
I would focus on issues that we can disprove logically.
This is what I did with Quran. I couldn't come out of the subjectivity and oppose it's subjective morals, but what I was able to do was find logical errors and contradictions and logical fallacies.
This is what I think we should do.
Also I feel it's no good to constantly assert that Christians don't know God or don't have the holy spirit guiding them, it does no good.
There needs to be a falsifier. Therefore, we should focus our energy on proving what can be proven by universal axioms of logic and structure of language.
