the religion in question, as opposed to just saying God? Christians are under the assumption that their deity is the only deity and their belief is the only correct belief, and frankly, I don't think it's fair to support their belief by making their deity the default deity in question when someone refers to god. This only encourages their belief and practice.
I think a great solution would be to make them specify which god they are refering to when they post questions about God. It would help them to realize that theirs isn't the only one out there, and definitely not the default deity that everyone references when asking theological questions.
Once they can accept that there are other ideas and concepts of god that are believed in just as much as theirs, they may eventually start to realize that other ideas are just as accepted as valid as theirs is, and just might make them a little more tolerant of others. What do you all think?
