you say you will not bash other religions because "all religions are good". this is a major problem. no, all religions are not good. just because something gets the label "religion" does not make it good. i am an athiest. i have best friends from all races. i support gay rights. i support women's rights. i do not need a religion or a book to tell me what is right or wrong. especially when the major religions are all filled with such hypocrisy. by believing your religion is somehow the "true" religion, you logically cannot fully respect someone who believes different, no matter how tolerant you claim to be.
