Formulated this way it is trivial that there could be no requirement. If a group think it is wrong to drive a car since all car objects are special the group you cannot be required to respect that and stop driving cars.
Personally I feel that it is not showing respect to respect crazy beliefs that people have. You show respect by telling them what you think about it and by not adapting your behaviour.
