Many religions (including my own) claim domain for their deity over all the Earth – not just over their believers. The irony is that—since none of the foundational mythologies of any of these belief systems can be proven—the only legitimate basis on which we can demand respect for our beliefs is the respect we demonstrate to the others.
The only legitimate basis for any judgment of another's belief system is by the actions of its followers ('Ye shall know them by their fruits' - Matthew 7:16). And to evaluate others on this basis is to accept this same criterion in the evaluation of your own faith.
