It's not about me respecting their beliefs, it's about me respecting the person.
Sure, which is why I said if I were in someone's home, I'd happily wait for grace to be said until I ate.
But out at a restaurant? Why does it constitute as respect for me to wait until THEY say grace? It isn't their home and no one else is expected to partake in their ritual in public.
If YOU want to say grace. YOU can say it. I'm going to eat. How is that disrespectful? Disrespectful would be arguing that they can't say grace while out to eat with me because I'm an atheist.
What's rude is expecting everyone else to partake in your personal ritual while out to eat in a public place.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
