Religions deserve the same amount of respect as mental assylums do

Well yes as long as they are ALL respected. It's called tolerance.

NOPE...here come the dr's

You gotta define your terms here, guy. But if I understand you correctly, I don't think that the greater "society", generally, requires or demands one to "respect" organized religions.
-
They deserve no respect or disrespect based on being a religion. Each individual group or organization should be judged by it's affect on a society.

Religions are the ones that demand respect, not society, but they do little, as organised bodies, to deserve it. They propagate themselves largely by indoctrinating children before they are old enough to make up their own mind about what they really believe in. They have a history of hypocrisy - preaching love and tolerance while at the same time torturing and killing people who dared to criticise them or their policies. They do little to condemn the terrorism and fighting that goes on in their name. And it's all founded on mythology with the ultimate goal of creating a large power base and wealth. No, there may be many people who behave in what has become known as a christian manner, without necessarily being christians in the usual sense of the word, but religions themselves (or their "governing bodies", at least) demand almost no respect at all.

In this site Religion is a difficult issue to mention. Never the less if we do not respect religions, we should keep it to ourselves and respect the believer not the religion they have the right to have a religion and believe in it. It is a matter of courtesy and respect for the believer. Bye.

Respect takes time, understanding, and the learning of one another's views. To be honest, I'd simply settle for tolerance and some members of religions to leave members of other religions alone.
