In spite of uncertainty about how the universe started, everything we know about its mechanics says it works without any need to believe in any of the mythology people have invented to explain it in a state of ignorance. Sometimes I'm tactful about that, sometimes I'm just honest, but there it is. Nobody's obligated to respect delusions, and in fact the pain and damage they've led to through many centuries suggests that those delusions more properly should be actively discouraged.
