Nope. Simply pointing out that faux respect for delusions remains faux no matter what anyone does.

Bluntly, there is no religion deserving of any respect no matter how anyone slices it.

On the other hand, you appear to believe otherwise because...well, you have yet to say what it is you find compelling about such superstitious beliefs, nor why anyone should give them the time of day.
