I think we should all respect each others beliefs and life choices regardless...the only exception to that would be to those members of society that are harmful: murderers, child molesters, theives, abusers, etc...I also believe respect does not necessarily mean that you approve but you give others space to have their own free will. You are a fellow human being, I am going to love you warts and all, I have my own warts! My faith teaches love so I am following that (and it's also my nature). If I know you have specific beliefs I will respect them without pushing mine on you...sharing when asked. Examples: giving a wiccan employee paid days off for his/her holy days, being mindful of a muslim friends time of prayers and making concessions in my home for them to perform as necessary, never saying an unjust word to someone because I believe differently. Religion gives peace to billions of human sous. I know athiests with wonderful morals and I know religious people I would not trust. Even without judging (condemning others for what you consider to be wrong choices/behaviors) you still have to have disernment and take people on a one-on-one basis. God bless!

I think all religions and beliefs fall under A and C :) though i accept that they are usually abused. Religion is a personal hing and if everyone just if their best in their honest opinion to be nice and kind the world would be a much better place.

e.
I believe it is a habit of human beings passed down since the cavemen, and not to be insulting, quite primitive.
Everyone wants to be followed, everyone wants to follow, and everyone knows death is coming.
