Should We "Respect" Religion

Question 1

Question put to Richard Dawkins:

Should we respect people’s faith?

Answer 1

By treating what they [vicars and bishops and such] preach with exaggerated respect, we are making the world safe for those who wish to do very bad things on the basis of their faith. We’re teaching people that faith is a virtue… that we should believe “x” because I believe it, not because there’s any evidence for it. […] Once society believes that, then it’s very hard for to argue against those who say, for example, “my faith tells me to become a suicide bomber…”
