I used to hold that view, but why single out religious views? Why not teach people to respect everyone else's views no matter how vile? Respect the racist's views, it makes them feel better -- who cares it if may cause them do evil. Respect the scam artist's views, he feels that what he does is right. etc.. Just because most people claim to believe in magic and fairy dust doesn't mean it's true, and if they are offended because you: 1. Don't believe in the same fairy dust they do 2. Point out errors and inconsistencies in their views 3. Behave in a way inconsistent with their views, that poses them no harm Then maybe they aren't as firm in their beliefs as they thought.
