The truth is often not popular.

They only have the right to be treated with respect if they treat those 
without such beliefs with respect. They don't do that because their very 
religion teaches that they are not allowed to treat non-believers with 
respect. It works both ways. If they would stop trying to interject 
their religion into politics and public life then there would be no need 
to complain.
