Really, its down to the individual and their own views on respect. I have met plenty of religious people that strongly believe in their own faith, but also respect that I do not share their views, and respect that it is my right to do so, but others have told me Im wrong, tried to convert me, failed, and promptly condemned me to hell. On the flip side of that, Ive met ignorant and opinionated athiests who laugh at other people for their beliefs. I think that each individual has the potential to rest on each end of the scale, but no one has the right to attack people because of their religion (or lack thereof), and everyone just needs to learn a little respect and tolerance. An important thing to remember is that you should not judge the entire religion/following because of the actions or opinions of the individual or isolated group, because there are plenty of good and accepting people out there.
