Just as I would anyone else to be honest. They have their beliefs and that's fine and up to them, just as I have my own ideas and opinions. As long as they don't proselytize (and this goes for atheists too, and somewhat ironically it's they who tend to do the proselytizing, not the theists).
It depends on the individual in question but, at one time or another, I've thought all of those things about various religious people.Do you think they are misguided or naive, brainwashed, stupid etc.
I respect their right to believe.do you respect their beliefs?
I view atheists the same way i view religious people.
I don't mind religious debate i just don't want someone trying to convert me to either side.
other than that every group has a majority of decent folk and the odd annoying ****er so judge each person individually rather than their religius beliefs.
I wonder why religious people aren't as rationally and logically minded as myself![]()

What makes you think that you are rationally and logically minded?![]()
In the same way I view anyone really. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs so provided they do not try and push their views on me I don't mind.
This, with the addition that I would not take kindly to those that discriminate on others based on their beliefs.
For example, Christians may believe whatever they like, but I will openly oppose any claim that homosexuals are evil.
