OK, I think we need to define persecution. Too many people in the theist/atheist debates think it means something it does not.
Most times either side is voicing an opinion of the other. Is having and/or voicing that opinion persecution?

Persecution is when people are mistreated for their beliefs.

By tolerating their religion, and treating them the same way you would treat another person, then you are respecting them.

Toleration=/= respect I tolerate Muslims, Christians and Jews, but i don't respect them for their beliefs. Thats just stupid.
