I never agreed with my parents' religion but I wouldn't dream of knocking it.

What it means

Our interpretation.

Disagreeing with a religion is separated from attacking it. The speaker allows the difference of belief while ruling out a more dismissive response, drawing a boundary in how that disagreement is expressed. The mention of parents gives the distinction a personal setting without explaining the beliefs themselves.
