If the belief is trivial, your distinction holds. If the belief is central to the person's make- up, then condescension for one is condescension for the other.

Yes. I had though we had this one wrapped up until I discovered that you considered essential belief to be much broader than just a belief in God or reverence for key prophets or principles. I'm prepared to give deference to that. Burning bushes and creating women from ribs are another matter.

In your last points, I neither entirely agree, nor entirely disagree. I am not sure I can make a productive comment, at this point. Perhaps I will come back to it later.....

I hope you do. For me, that is key.
