Yes you should. There should be equal respect between religious and nonreligious people. It is not that hard. As a lot of you guys are gay, I don't understand your tolerance argument when just a few years ago, the argument was made that people should just be tolerant of gays.

The main issue is that people don't want to respect something they don't agree with. (Aka, don't respect Black people because of their skin, don't respect Gays because of their orientation, don't respect religious people because of their beliefs, don't respect rich people because "they no longer understand what it is like to be poor.", don't respect poor people because they don't work hard enough.) I could literally go on.

Aka, everyone saying no is no better than those religious fanatics that don't give a **** about you, call you **** and won't hesitate to say you have a mental disorder.

Hypocrites.

Again, religion is a choice. Sexuality isn't.

I'll give them respect when they start paying taxes.

No, if we want to evolve.

Yes. It's disgusting that you guys come on here and drag people for their beliefs.

You don't believe in God? Good for you. Just respect my beliefs and I'll respect yours.

I feel like most of you guys hate religion because most religions condemn homosexuality, which I understand. Sometimes I get frustrated at that too, but not all religious people are homophobic assholes.

The arguement "shoving religion down our throat" is so hypocritical because most atheists will shove their beliefs down our throats and go on this big rant on how religion doesn't make sense.

Also blaming religion for every extremist's actions is like blaming gays for AIDS.

Yes, billions of people believe in it so it requires a certain level of respect; or respect for the people at least. You can be critical of Religion without being overly offensive and ignorant.

Saying things like 'Jesus didn't even exist fhfbcudbxg', makes you look like a fool who doesn't know history.

Religions actually provide some historical context and prove as a good resource for English literature. The Bible, for instance, is a good book to read of you're a literary student.

LGBT wants tolerance but only at their convenience

Religion doesn't justify bigotry and intolerance. Regardless of whatever billions of followers they have.
