If those people are doing it for that type of a reason they don’t deserve respect. At the same token, however, disrespecting someone because they are christian doesn’t make you much better. If their religion or belief is saying not to give a job to someone that is atheist and they live by that then, obviously, that religion or belief starts becoming disrespectful and the reasons to give it respect diminish. Though it also does depend on how much disrespect they decide to give, again such as the case with Nazis. It also works on a similar level with individuals, I suppose.
Personally I don’t care much for Christianity, but for beliefs such as Buddhism or even other theistic religions (not saying Buddhism is one) it’s a different story.

Edit: Astroboy, your sig is way too large.

Edit2: I’m likely to be going at this the completely wrong way or seeing things totally wrong, which I know and apologize for in advance.

Always be open minded and always question. Then you’ll gain my respect.

And everyone should be open minded about them all. If everyone was open minded when it came to this, then we’d all be able to discuss them in a civilized fashion. But humans are naturally bias.

But yea I mean respect in the way of having the right to believe in it.

Should facts be questioned? Well it depends if we are on the same page about a fact. If something is undeniably correct and can’t be proven wrong, that’s my definition of a fact. Thus it shouldn’t be questioned, because it’s unquestionable technically. Normally science takes care of this for us, cause unlike everything else, they hardly call anything a fact until they are 100% sure and not afraid to go back on their own word if they make a mistake.

But that’s my definition of a fact which is why I won’t question it because according to my definition it’s unquestionable.
