World view hierarchies seem normal. I don't know how you could be affiliated with a major world view, or even to have preferences for one or some, and not view the others in such a way. To be true to principle, the devotees must also practice tolerance of other people's ways of thinking, which would make coexistence workout just fine if not for the corruption issue.

I expect people to take the principles of their affiliated world view to heart and live decent lives of kindness and good will; anything less is a disappointment to me ... coincidentally, anything less_ is a disappointment to most of them but there's not much I can do about that. In any event, when people of good character are able to come clean on the corruption issue, they should be able to rise above it as individuals, without necessarily rejecting the foundations of their faith and principle.
