How does followers of a religion equal to respect, most people are born and raised into some religion, they didn’t chose said religions, and they either partially or completely disconnected from it but if asked what their religion is would still say it’s XYZ, cause not many wanna deal with religious lunatics and their antics if you say you agnostic or atheist, I still claim to be part of the religion I was born into if asked, doesn’t mean I follow it. Also if the people who explicitly claim to be a part of this religion they respect, maybe they wouldn’t help pedophiles rape children
Christianity isn’t like Islam where you’re disowned (and often murdered) for the crime of leaving. People who were born into a Christian family but don’t respect the religion can simply choose not to follow it anymore (with the notable exception of a few cults, but they hardly make up the whole). And once again, even many non-believers still have respect for the message of love and peace which Jesus championed.
We’re talking about how many people respect the Bible, not whether or not it’s legitimate.

Cause I doubt your god would find that respectful, or the millions of other atrocities committed by the millions of other religions and followers.
dude, you’re barking up the wrong tree.
