I know that hasn't been your experience, and that's great.
But I'm not going to pretend there isn't any anti religious people bigotry here amongst some people.
Well for the record, it's not "an act."
This is how I was raised, and this is how I would like to be addressed and so it is how I believe I should address others. Plain and simple.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
