Learn much young padawan must.
Religion is frequently a very dangerous, deadly business. Not to mention promoting backwards ideas, morals, mindset and worldview.
Such "beliefs" should most definitely not be "respected", whatever that means. If it means we should accord some manner of deference to idiots who believe a virgin can give birth, or a prophet rode on a magic horse-like thingy to Jerusalem and back, or a con-man had a picnic lunch with an angel who gave him some magic golden plates, you can stuff that nonsense where the sun don't shine.
Do you respect all political beliefs, no matter how egregious? Let's respect the beliefs of those lovely neo-Nazis. By all means!
What is so special about religious belief that it should be guarded and shielded from the mockery/criticism/scorn we apply to any other ridiculous human endeavor?
