Anyone and everyone can be rude about their beliefs. Sometimes it's impossible to even express an opinion without offending someone else, especially when it comes to religion. You can say "I believe in God," and I can respond "I used to, but I don't anymore," and neither of us is being rude. But the moment you say, "Well, the Bible says you're a fool and like a dog returning to its vomit," you're being rude. I don't care that the Bible actually does say those things. It's rude, whether you came up with it on your own or you're citing an Iron Age goatherder. And if I respond, "Well, you're a brainwashed irrational superstitious nitwit who believes in fairy tales," then I'm being rude.
That's why it's imperative that we all check ourselves now and then.
