>As much as the concept of "tolerance" is criticised (more recently from those people who, I think rightly, are tired of only being "tolerated") I think that people should be allowed to believe whatever they want to believe. In my mind, respect is something that's earned rather than expected. People should be able to believe whatever they want, but as soon as it affects anything they do, any such "respect" becomes counterproductive. E.g. respecting anti-vaxxer beliefs, how would that even work? Would you rather be in a crisis situation with a person who will pray for your well-being instead of actually helping you when it's needed?
