Religious duties:
1. To deliver the message of Islam
2. To tell them of the good news of heaven
3. To warn them of the bad news of hell
4. To protect them and gurantee their safety if they do not fight you
5. To look after their general welfare in times of war and peace.
6. To care for them when they are sick or atleast visit them
7. To feed them if they are hungry with no means to alleiviate that hunger
8. To be courteous and kind all the time
9. To help them in their times of distress
10. To protect their places of worship
11. To gurantee them their right to freedom of religion
12. To gurantee them their civil rights according to their religious customs
there are so many many things that our Prophet left as an example of a good neighbourly behavior towards the non-Muslims. This list is surely not comprehensive but some of the first few things that came to my mind.

I wouldn't really call it religious duty, I prefer ethical duty towards human and animals and one would be to love your neighbor.

Studying different religions and respecting them, I would say the biggest religious duty is learning, befriending, and understanding others faiths and continually build bridges amongst each other.

I'm a Christian. It is the duty of every Christian to bring news of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus to everyone who hasn't heard it.

Forgiving 70X7, until you can't stand it anymore. And then you just DROP it! Matthew 6:14-15. "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins." http://www.foxven.com/vhsfrgvw.html
Helping those who CAN'T do much for themselves. Then Jesus will turn to those on His left hand and say, "Depart from me because I was hungry and you did not feed me, I was thirsty and you did not give me to drink, I was sick and you did not visit me." These will ask Him, "When did we see You hungry, or thirsty or sick and did not come to Your help?" And Jesus will answer them, "Whatever you neglected to do unto one of these least of these, you neglected to do unto Me!" http://www.columbia.edu/cu/augustine/arch/teresa94.html
Galatians 5:19-25
Now the works of the flesh are obvious: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I am warning you, as I warned you before: those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. http://bible.oremus.org/?ql=14638129

To recognize that there is sacredness in every person, every rock, every tree, every star, every.....everything. To do my best to be honest with myself and with others; to support others in acting from their higher selves; to only share my religious views with those who ask about them; to serve as best I can as an example to follow, without putting myelf forward.
To live, as best I can, this prayer:
Bless my mind, that I may know wisdom.
Bless my eyes that I may see truth.
Bless my ears that I may hear with understanding.
Bless my mouth that I may speak with compassion.
Bless my heart, that I may know love.
Bless my hands, that they may heal and not harm.
Bless my feet, that I may walk with others in respect and freindship.
Blessed Be!

My only duty is to serve God and share His word with others, so they can get to know Jesus and through the Holy Spirit, accept Jesus as their savior. Praise the Lord.
