I know Area 51 exists, but if you heard some wild eyed freakazoid say he "believed" in Area 51 what would you take as his meaning?
To me respecting somebody for having faith in God makes about as much sense as respecting pre-schoolers for believing in Santa Claus.
Depends on who you're talking about though.

There are the kinds of people that have cheap faith, which are basically the people who believe in god but for the reasons because they think that simply believing in him will save them from hell.

Then there are the people deep, philisophical belief in him and instead of being motivated the consequences of not believing in him, they are motivated by the various good points of believing in him.
