It makes me laugh.
No other topic seems to draw such an immediate and flooding reaction as a question related to religion.
Even atheists, whom you would think could care less, seem to be almost more passionate about defending their non-theism with an almost ultra-religious ferver!
It's no wonder our world is always at war.
I think it's because there's no education about religion in schools (at least in the U.S.), so there's total ignorance about common grounds and an educated discussion about differences and mutual respect of those differences. Instead, everyone huddles to their corners and reacts like vicious, rabid animals when anyone touches the "meat" near their terroritory.
For me, I'm fascinated by all religions. I think the true answers are based in science, and religion is simply how we try to make sense of the un-understandable. And I respect the rights of others to worship freely as they wish, in public, in government buildings, it's all good.
