 Right. People often say you should respect other people's beliefs, usually referring to their religion. 
I say, no, I respect people and their right to believe as they do, but I don't have to respect WHAT they believe. 
 i don't identify with my beliefs, they change too much, depending on new data

some data never changes

that's the stuff to hitch your horse to, it's not going anywhere

like the principle that there must be one law governing all physical reality, that's a horse hitching post if i ever saw one
