I think the question should be reworded. The cultural, philosophical, and religious beliefs of others may seem silly, irrelevant, unscientific etc. Out of that perspective, we could not truly show respect for what we perceive to be erroneous or foolish. Rather, we should respect the right of those who hold such views to express their personal opinions and to place no restrictions on their freedom of religion/belief.
AnswerJohn Dominic Crossan (The Birth of Christianity) makes it clear that he is a practising Christian but also shows the respect we should all show for the religions of others when he declares, "It is not morally acceptable to say directly and openly that our story is truth but yours is myth; ours is history but yours is lie."

How many religions have to marry within the religion?
Many religions have laws against marrying outside of their beliefs in order to preserve their ideals and community. All religions need a strong believing youth in order to preserve the religion's tradition and teachings. When nonbelievers marry in, the structure of the family can be tainted because each parents has different teachings they may want to teach their kids. Religions find importance in raising children and youth to believe in their faith so that the future is upheld and the family is more likely to remain intact. However, this does not mean many religions are against others. Most religions are accepting of others and understand that different people may believe different things. Some religions allow marrying outside of the faith but, require the religious parent to raise their children in the faith.
What do you call people who convert from one religion to another?
An Anthropologist is one good answer, they study all religions as a consistently arrising social phenomenon. It is a social institution on all levels of social order, hard to detect in lower primates but i suspect it is there in a nacent form. So what is going on? Humanity is working to assure the growth of consciousness will have a path forward anon, and that the kids do not have to make the same foolish mistakes the ancestors made; we have taboo, precept, and commandment-WORD! To honour the efforts of all religions and to thereby transcend the divisive is to aproach religion from the state of intellectual freedom. This being the case, lets call this intrepid soul, free. So, a person who believes in all religions is free; that is my answer. -------- Another answer is - one who follows the Baha'i faith. (http://www.bahai.org/)
Why should you respect other religions?
you show respect because older people are bigger than you so show respect .....AnswerYou show respect in order to get respect; meaning that it really does not matter how people treat you, it's how you treat the people that do wrong to you. Basically what goes around comes around and nobody wants to die the life they live. So no matter what happens in life keep a clean slate for your own self respect and you will surely be rewarded for it. I know it's not fair, but nothing in life is, except our choices. They are free and help make a great difference in this old world. Some people you should respect are parents,siblings,teacher,peers,and others like a police officer

Other groups may have different priorities, such as power and/or money--
