[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see far more respect between religious people of various faith backgrounds than I do from non-religious people toward religious people. [/quote]

Do you see similar respect from religious people for agnostics and atheists?[/quote]

This is my question too.  People, in the US, at least, are taught that they should respect people with different religious beliefs, but they are not taught to respect people who do not have a religion.[/quote]

How so?[/quote]

Have you ever heard of a teaching that directs religious people to be kind to and understanding of people who don't believe in God?  I haven't.

I  don't know of a teaching that directs people to be kind to people of different religions either, but at least in the US, we pay lip service to the idea.

Often in public ceremonies there will be clergy from a few different religions there, all making some sort of blessing from their tradition, but I've never seen a humanist officiant -- and they do exist - they often do weddings for non-religious couples.[/quote]
