Having correct beliefs does not mean expressing them. If I traveled back in time to medieval Rome, I would still believe that Jews aren't inherently evil and that Christ did not rise from the dead, but it would be unwise for me to be too public about those beliefs.

Nickpick: my understanding is that even in medieval Rome a lot of people didn't consider Jews inherently evil. At least to the extend that they were willing to engage in business dealings with them.
