Yes. To understand the psychology of religion does not require respecting it or pretending to accept any of its truth claims @MondigeStudent

I respect all belief systems - whether I believe they are right or not. I respect Jesus as a potentially inspiring person.

I simply do not respect the atrocities committed in the name of religion or commandments that proclaim violence & suppression.

We can certainly identify good & bad bits in religion but I can't respect faith-based thinking or unsubstantiated claims.

Which I agree with. But as a skeptical atheist, I think religion is intellectually a weak opponent. It is very easy to refute.

But we see now the uprising of non-religious belief systems that require scrutiny (postmodernism, GMO-opposition,..).

But you do not see them often. I see atheists refuting autism vaccination claims but not about biology of human sexuality.

I think this is because the former are theists and the latter are atheists and atheists put group interests above principles.

Some atheists are postmodernists. Sceptics are the ones who should be against all equally.
