And to base the level of respect you have for someone solely on their belief system, while at the same time not knowing the reasoning or logic behind those beliefs, is perhaps the least respectable position of all.

Claiming to know what comprises the entire belief system of an individual simply because they are deemed a "christian" is another issue entirely.

Whatever the underlying logic of the belief system of your hypothetical person, it is at its base highly flawed if it entails believing in basic christian principles. There are people who still believe the earth is flat, just as there are still people who believe in antiquated and ridiculous notions such as christianity. I would take neither group very seriously, except christianity still has a massive following, and therefore still deserves attack because of its pervasive effect on humanity. It is a belief system for those with a slave mentality.
