I do accept others, but not all people are accepting and tolerant of others beliefs... there are people like that who belong to every culture and religion or belief etc. It is sad but true many people hate without reason and cannot leave others alone.

Some people choose to feel threatened by something that is different from themselves. It could be religion or race or sexual preference....but it's not only the non-believers that attack others.
I agree with your statement about giving advice without attacking another's mind. Each person is on their own path to find their own truth and their own version of the one true God.

You MUST be new here to think believers don't attack. Let me show you my inbox.

most "believers" act as if those that don't believe their truth are clueless. I personally think it is the religion that separates. Bottom line-I agree live and let live however beliefs are by nature irrational and the cause of much evil in the world.
for example: the crusades, the American gov forbidding Indians from speaking their language or practicing their beliefs, religion today is exclusive instead of inclusive

People in the US can go just about anywhere with Christian bumper stickers and I've also seen bumper stickers attacking atheists, non-believers and other religions. There are plenty of places here at which one would be at risk driving through with a bumper sticker that advocates atheism, and just imagine one with a Christian fish in a circle with a bar through it - not my cup of tea, but it would likely get you beaten, harrassed or worse in some parts of the US.

I know you're sincere. Realize, though, that you do not speak for all muslims any more than I speak for all atheists or Buddhists. There are many believers in all faiths that have no regrets about attacking, even killing, those who disagree with them. If you can convince other Muslims to share your peaceful ways, great. We'll do our best on this end.

I respect your beliefs and our courage for admitting that you are a Muslim in these turbulen times. As a Buddhist, I feel that you would NOT have the tolerance for me that you are preaching. I am not a follower of the book. Just keep in mind that those of us that follow the dharma look at everyone as brothers and sisters.

I am an atheist and I agree with you. Atheists for some reason often feel that they should be pushing their beliefs, or lack of them, on other people. I don't agree with that. I feel no desire to take religion away from folks and I do in fact see religion, particularly Christianity as a very very good thing. Christinaity is responsible for civilizing the world.

I wish more theists were like you. I'm not really worried about Muslims - most of the Muslims I've ever met were very tolerant of my atheism. It's the fundamentalist Christians that bother me, and, I suspect, most other atheists.
