Re: Respect for all religions is not truthful.
However I think the real question is "Do you think that respect for all religions is truthful?"
A religion written or followed with intention of dividing society into groups (Right vs Wrong) does not have any truth in it. What is important is what you take of your religion. A non-sectarian Sanatan Dharmi would not see people who go to Karni mata temple as people whose beliefs are "opposite" to beliefs of people who follow Gita. Aghoris like wise are Siddhas and even though they are not orthodox they are essentially Sanatan Dharmi too. If anything Aghoris are the most non-missionary minded people. Definitely they don't keenly spread their ideology or even think about spreading their ideology. Any religion (especially sects of Sanatan Dharm) which does not preaches bigotry, hate and forceful violence on people of other religion is fine. If there are differences in rituals and practices then the simplest thing one can do is not follow those rituals which does not appeals to oneself. However if a religion spreads hatred and enforces its belief on you then for sure you have the right to not only disassociate with their members but even fight against the discrimination they might be subjecting you too.
When the light has risen, there is no day, no night, neither existence nor non-existence; Siva alone is there. That is the eternal, the adorable light of Savitri, - and the ancient wisdom proceeded thence (Svetasvatara Upanishad IV-18). :)
