we should not respect the MUSLIMS. they kill any one who worships different gods! they kill women who don't hide their hair. they are always starting wars! but you should respect the other religions.

well in your analogy the kids would be man, and the teacher God. And God knows all the answers, so He can say who is right or wrong
No, beliefs are ideas. Ideas often do not warrant respect. Would you respect fascism?
However, I respect the right of every individual to decide what to believe for themselves. If one believes in fascism as a form of government that is fine (of course, I would oppose them trying to create that form of government over me).

no every ones belief should not be respected
respecting beliefs has no bearing on a teacher grading a test.

Well there is a difference between believing something about the unknown and believing in something which you know is not true.
So no, not every belief deserves respect. If I said there is a boogeyman living under my bed, most people wouldn't respect that belief.

No, and your comparison to a multiple choice test has a significant difference: there IS only one right answer on those questions.
It's not the beliefs we need to respect, but the person's right to hold those beliefs. This does not mean that they have a right to be insulated from others who believe something different, or even from people who believe that what they believe is stupid. We also have freedom of speech.
Don't you think it's telling that the founding fathers put those two in the same Amendment?

LOL!!
Uh, no...math, history, grammar...these things are not open for debate. In math, for instance, a fact is a fact. The math teacher doesn't have to worry about whether or not his student "believes" in algebra...if he gets the answer wrong, he flunks the class...and that's all there is to it.
Come to think about it, it is that way with God, as well. You and I may respect one another's right to believe as we choose, but God does is not bound by any such social nicety. If you guess wrong on His Final Exam...you flunk out.
And that's all there is to it.
