People always associate Tom Cruise with Scientology, so what's the difference when it's a Christian religion or a sect or a cult?

That is to be expected I think. If a celebrity such as Katie Price makes money out of sharing her private life why would people NOT judge her on how strange she is behaving and treating her boyfriends?

I think it's almost impossible to say those two things to a believer unless he/she has respect back for people who don't believe. The problem is from what I gather that many religions, if these are followed closely at least, teach that non believing is wrong thus I don't think full respect could ever be 100% mutual. It's a utopian - happy-clappy picture you paint which simply hasn't worked across most parts of the world if you look at how things are turning out.

Indeed, but that doesn't just go for celebrities does it?

Many believers would argue it's too late by then!

The last one should deserve every right to keep his private life private. In this World we cross these boundries way to easy. And even more scary. We act like we have the right to do so.

That's not going to happen in a million years. In a sense Meat joining the celebrity apprentice thing means he is happily showing a large part of his private life and/or how he behaves off stage/off camera. So....
