#3 good point about the handshaking, but im sure you could catch many more diseases in a Mikva than from shaking a hand.

#4 i havent met many religious (especially chareidi) jews who have anything less than contempt for Jewish people who dont keep torah/mitzvot. Respect with believers is generally a one way street.

I have respect for religious people of all types - but dont respect many of their ideas or beliefs. That applies to all religions not just Judaism. I have no respect for divisive belief systems that divide the world into Us and Them.
