Whether they believe in Jesus as a third of a Trinity or in reincarnation or in angels, that's that. They're entitled. Period. We don't have the same requirement as to their political or philosophical beliefs. One is off limits; the other isn't. I wish you were right...but these folks are dying (sic) to change your religious, your political and your philosophical beliefs. And some of them are Americans. terrorismawareness.org

"We can't challenge them ....We need to respect other people's religious beliefs ..." People challenge and disrepect other peoples faith all the time.

You don't need to respect anyone's belief, nor do you. You need to tolerate them. That's a completely different thing.

Like Brumar said, people get challenged on their faith all the time, told they are stupid, luddites, knuckle-draggers, etc etc. The measure of how challenged someone will be is not whether he professes a religious faith or a political philosophy, but how far away his views are from those of the challenger. The MSM, which operates under the illusion that they have found the one Golden Mean spot free of bias, illusion or the opiate of religion from which to view the world, routinely denigrates the faith of religious people of many faiths.
