Does Religion Deserve Respect?

Debate Information

It is often said that whilst atheists tolerate religion, they do not respect it.
Why would this be so, since, on the face of it, holding a religious belief seems to be the righteous thing to do or at least, religion seems to be promoted that way?

Why should an atheist respect religion when there is no evidence whatsoever as to the existence of God?

Why should an atheist respect religion given that, over the centuries it has been responsible for so many wars and corruption?

Why should an atheist respect religion given that it is openly homophobic, sexist and discriminatory?

Why should an atheist respect religion when it has been responsible for polarising and splitting up families?

Why should an atheist respect religion when religious followers flout the law of the land in favour of their own rules?

Why should an atheist respect religion if followers are prescribed rules on how to run their personal lives, for example, what they can and can't do in the privacy of their own bedroom?

Why should an atheist respect religion given that most followers are either naive, gullible, weak, vulnerable or deluded?
