How so?

Well first of all, criticising something is generally ok. We’re allowed to do that.
However, if two religious people are criticising each other about their relgion, that’s basically two people arguing about something they are both wrong about. That makes it funny.

Respecting others’ beliefs is important, regardless of whether we share the same faith or hold atheistic views. It’s not about determining who’s right or wrong; rather, it’s about promoting understanding and empathy. Mocking or belittling others’ beliefs can be hurtful and divisive. Instead we should strive for mutual respect and a more inclusive attitude towards different perspectives.

Hard disagree here.
Religion at best needs to be tolerated, at least the parts that aren’t illegal.
But respected? No Sir.
Being free to believe what you want also includes people believing your believes are stupid.
You want a less hurtful and divisive world? Great! Let’s start by getting rid of religions, which are easily the most divisive social constructs in human history. We’re litterally still fighting wars over them.
