Yes, when Christians reject the literalism suggested by orthodox Christianity's central tenets and join us at the table of honest inquiry.

If you're serious I'm changing my Religious Views to "Zidneya".

That's rather encouraging to hear. If truth is ever to be sought, an unremitting readiness to admit that you may be wrong is of the upmost important.

Not about religion. They should talk about something else.

Hezekiah,

May I ask what respecting your beliefs (as an example) would actually entail? Like, what do you mean by that?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

I think it's best to have as many different takes on anything to keep us all in check. Like Christians imposing non secular conditions in a secular political arena. That's not appropriate and should be challenged. It works both ways, and that's how we end up with a healthy consensus.

Yes, it's possible; it requires both parties to agree to not preach, either explicitly or tacitly.

I think so, you find things you can agree on and then identify people that you agree are more loathsome than each other.

Jesus has such lovely hair, Dawkins is a lovely chap but pointy rectangles are just plain wrong.
