The Information Paradox: Secular Religious Freedom Does Not Equal 'Respect'

Respect your own faith and show it reverence by keeping it a private matter, doing so will illustrate you are confident and secure in your beliefs without the insecure need to ask others to conform as well.

A better option would be to seek out and reside in a country that would provide the rule of law that conforms to the scripture of your faith.
