I do not understand why anyone respects anyone's religious beliefs. I agree with Hitchens who said, "The main source of hatred in the world is religion, and organized religion. ... Religion should be treated with ridicule, hatred and contempt."

Claiming that anyone who believes in some imaginary person or group of people who control, judge or have anything to do with actual reality deserves to have those beliefs respected in any way is beyond idiotic. It is dangerous.
