Theists; do you have respect for any other religions besides your own?

I have noticed that while many Theists do, the greatest number of Theists that have respect for other religions are people that follow less popular religions(Wicca, Zoroastrianism, Baha'ism, Earth religions, etc.)

I am a catholic and I have respect for all Religions. the Church teaches to respect other religions
 
I have respect for many other religious people. I dont know how a person really respects an actual religion, since humans can twist the actual religion to mean whatever they want it to and do whatever they want in the name of their religion, and so it is not the religions I necessarily respect, but the people within the religions.

There are concepts within all religions that I can respect. I dont know of any religion, besides maybe fringe psycho ones, that dont have any concepts worthy of respect.
 
I respect any religion which teaches one to come to Love God.
Some religions take one further along that path than others, and some have different relationships with God. Muslims tend to worship God with awe and reverance, Christians with an attitude of survitude, or they worship God as their father, still many other religions simply do not even recognize that God is a person.

They may not get every detail correct, but as long as the foundation is to love God, or come to know God, or if it even prepares you to be open to the idea of acknowledging God's existence or even just that there is a higher power than you. That is good, and certainly worth acknowledging and respecting.
