I see respect as an interpersonal dynamic, and not as a way to approach someone's views. Views get consideration, and either agreement or disagreement as a result. The people who hold those views gain or lose respect based on a number of factors.
I give everyone a basic amount of respect based on the principle of "benefit of the doubt", but withdraw it from people who don't understand that respect still must be earned.
