No. In fact, treating people differently based on what you think of their ethics is the basis of justice and civilisation.
The only way your position works is if you assume that all ethical systems are objectively equal - or that ethics doesn't matter.
It's also a position that reduces to absurdity very, very quickly. Consider how you might advocate I treat someone whose ethics approves of murder or rape, and you'll see why.
In fact, I'd go further and say that as a society we don't discriminate on ethics anywhere nearly as strongly as we should.

Okay, I'll bite. On what basis should one judge people?
