Are we obligated to repect someone's religious beliefs?

People always tell me, "Mike, you should respect people's religious beliefs." If I tell you that I believe that Tennessee is on the West Coast, you have no obligation to respect my belief. Which is why I don't respect anyone's belief in Bronze Age or Iron Age pseudoscience (astrology, psychics, ESP, reincarnation, ghosts, etc.) or mythology (religion).

For those who want to know. To answer the question, "Are we obligated to respect someone's religious beliefs? The answer is no.
