What a person believes is one thing.
How those beliefs affect their lives is something else.
It's not so much a matter of judging what you believe or don't believe. It is, rather, the kind of person you are, and whether or not your beliefs have an affect on that.
I'm a Christian. I dislike Christians who give the idea that Christianity means we must close our minds to new ideas or ways of thinking.
I dislike when people of other religious beliefs try to tell me how my particular faith is somehow not as good as theirs, which is why I don't do that to them, although, I do understand how sometimes people get into the "my God is better than your God" thing. Obviously, each of us thinks our religion is "best", if we didn't, we'd already be a believer in the other guy's religion...
Yeah, well it made more sense before I typed it.
Anyhow, I particularly dislike atheists who have the notion that because I can't produce empirical scientific proof that there is a God, I must be stupid for believing in Him, especially when they start comparing a belief in God to a belief in leprachauns or pink unicorns.
I hope I expressed myself in a way that you can understand.
May God (whether you believe in HIm or not) bless you, today and always.

I am not sure what my beliefs really are, I just keep the thoughts to myself. Yes, I do judge people for their beliefs, especially when them beliefs start to split families up or cause wars, and at the same time the people who preach those same beliefs start to say things like, its not us, we don't judge and it cant be us because we are the true followers of God, not anybody else, so blame them. In other words, people who claim that they don't judge others, but their practise tells us that they do. Enough to make us all sick.

I do judge, that however does not mean that I damn or condemn anyone. While I can not say for certainty which religion is absolutely true, I can make a logical assessment of which religions are clearly false. If your religion is nonsensical, sometimes even bordering on immoral, then yes, on the occasion I happen to fall into a religious discussion, I will make it clear the fallacies of certain religions.
Regardless of my comments, however, you forever maintain the right to follow which ever religion you choose - so long as it does not infringe upon the rights of others.

I don't judge people on their religious and non-religious beliefs. I judge them on how they express their beliefs. For example I hate the people who think that their religion is right, and everyone else's is wrong, and because of that they will try and convert everyone. Or I also hate the people who put religion above everything else. Above their family, friends, work, themselves. I hate that. I have family, friends, school, me, and then God.

Mathew 7:1-3 Do not judge lest you be judged.For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
I believe Christians were meant to model their life after Christ but not called to judge others especially non Christians. In regards to non Christians we are meant to share our faith and if they refuse the truth to leave and not look back.
Mathew 10:14 And whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.
The passage does not suggest any judgement required on the part of the Christian.

I don't really judge people by that except in a relationship because it is hard to be with someone who has differnet beliefs. If they are just my friends then it is fine because mostly everyone, doesn't matter what religion are good people.

I'm non religious. I'm a Freethinker/Agnostic/Humanist. I don't judge anybody for what they believe or don't believe. To me a cool person is a cool person regardless of whether or no they are religious or non religious. There are some jerks on both sides as well. I'm cool with everybody who is cool with me. I am respectful with those who are respectful with me.

Whether one is religious or not is no reason to judge the person. The Bible says, "Do not judge". Judgment belongs to God.

Presently, I tend to judge the belief (what), not the person (who).

I don't judge people, I'm also an Atheist, and I hope that people respect what I believe in as I respect what they believe in.
