So you don't respect anyone who has any sort of religious faith, since you think they are wrong?

Personal qualities can be tied to a person's beliefs, but it's ofen a lot more complicated that that. If you take the average person, and raise them in different environments, they will end up with completely different views. If we were all born and raised a four hundred years ago, the chances are that all of us would be religious and view atheism as some sort of quirky ideology associated with political radicalism.
