If any instructor tells you to descend to 60 metres for 60 minutes on a 12 litre tank of air and tries to convince you they read somewhere in ancient lore that it was perfectly safe - or that their god will keep you from harm's way, or that if you don't believe it and do accordingly you'll have to endure eternal damnation, or that it is so but you simply failed to reconise all along, or that you're a poor, ignorant human being who refuses to see the truth as stated without verifiable proof - you don't even have to insult the man/woman: please give me the contact details and I will make sure the person must undergo a thorough psychiatric examination before being allowed to dive again.
On a religious note, I will repeatedly insult those "christians" who have caused millions of death from AIDS because they have convinced the poorest, the hopeless and the most wretched that they'll end up in hell if they use condoms during sex.
You may respect people like the former because it's their belief, but I certainly don't and never will.
Neither I will respect "muslims" who terrorise my fellow men in the name of their god, nor those of any denomination who although not even coming close to these horrific crimes against Humanity take advantage of other people's goodwill to deceitfully propagate their religious agenda: in my book it amply shows an absolute lack of respect for the honest opinions of others.
