The Bible teaches to respect other non Abrahamic religions so why can’t fundies respect pagans and atheists ?

The truth is that death leads to heaven or hell, and the only way to heaven is through faith in Jesus Christ.
The Bible is very clear that no one can earn their way to heaven since good works do not pay for sins. See Gal. 2:16, Rom. 3:23-28, 4:4-5, Eph. 2:8-9, Tit. 3:5. The only way to heaven is by believing in Jesus for His free gift of eternal life. Jesus shed His blood on the cross as the full payment for our sins. He did all the work; all He requires of us is that we believe in Him. Once you believe in Jesus Christ to save you, you are secure forever!
Because we have all sinned against a perfectly holy and righteous God, we all deserve eternal separation from God in hell (Rom. 6:23). However, God loves us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus to die on the cross as our Substitute so we don't have to go to hell. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the grave three days later (1 Cor. 15:3-4). He gives eternal life freely to anyone who simply believes in Him for it. No one can be saved by doing good works. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Eph. 2:8-9).
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life" (John 6:47).

Can you quote where in the Bible it says to respect non Abrahamic religions? I have been reading the book cover to cover a couple times a years for over 50 years and have not found any such statement.
I do find several places where it condemns belief in other religions, even have the death penalty for any Jewish who practice those religions.

You want fundies to give up some portion of their hate and contempt? It will never happen.

Really, is that why the bible god demanded systematic genocide to people who don't follow him specifically?
Maybe you should read your bible.
The bible is based on hate and cults like the jehovah's witnesses love to hate everyone who disagrees with their cult.

Satan has hidden the truth in many false religions. So it is not suprising there is a lot of religions out there that have come down to us from pagan religions.

Uhm... no, it doesn't. It does, however, show us the teachings of Jesus Christ, which is to love God, and to love our neighbors just as we love ourselves (as the most important of commandments).
Second of all... "Atheism"... a religion?? Seriously??

They can't!
The holy bible teaches to stay out of religions that are out of Christian doctrine, anyone who follows a religion that is not according to God's will, will take you to hell!!!

What makes you think they don't, fredda? The fact that they hold firmly to what they believe, and aren't easily swayed by being called "intolerant" or "homophobe" or "ignorant?"
