With being so many different religions. Some similar some not. How would you say freedom of religion should be handled? Do you think everyone should have the same religion or do you think it is ok for everyone to have the religion that is for them. Also, do you think people who are not of the same religion should be done away with?
There seems to be alot of religious wars lately and I just want to see how everyone feels. I want a personal answer not a sermon. Dont preach to me out of the bible.

freedom to practice your beliefs without doing harm to others is what freedom of religion is all about. i believe in it.

I believe there is only one true religion because in the bible it says there is only one faith. It says you can identifie the true religion by their works and love for one another. I have seen this in one only. I have seen them world wide they are as if one family. I have researched many religions too. ppl do not care for them either why i do not know. They seem like very kind and caring ppl too. They are Jehovah's Witnesses I am not sure that is how you spell it. Actions speak and their's show it. As for the war part they are the only ones who do not go to war so they are not killing their own ppl. other religions cannot say the same in other wars catholics kill each other so do all other religions. Just because they are in different countries they are still same religions killing each other so they cannot say one faith. and that is the mark of the true religion.

In the end, religious beliefs are very personal choices. Many years ago, and to some extent even now, religion is also a social tool to bring conformity. When used in that context, there is a reason to make one's religion the "only" one. But in the end, if you believe religion defines your relationship with your God(s), then there is no reason to require any one religion other then out of efficiency. People are too diverse to realistically expect that only one religion can prevail.

I personally think there should be no religion, period. People can be spiritual and moral, but organized religion could very well cause the end of civilization as we know it. The concept of tolerance of varying religions is great, in theory, but it doesn't work because many religions specifically say in their core teachings that other religions are wrong and must be done away with.

I think religion is fundamental to everyone. Each person has to grapple with life's mysteries, and religion is a way of understanding those mysteries.
Anyone can believe their religion is true, but nobody should be able to tell someone else what to believe. Ultimately, all religions are unprovable.
The problems start when one group starts trying to force their beliefs onto another group, or when they use their religious convictions to justify evil actions against others.

I think it is only possible to have religion that is for the individual. Even Christians often say that one's relationship with Jesus is personal.
I think everyone views God/Goddess/Tao/Universe/
Nothing/FSM/Whatever in a different way. There is no way standardization would work.
I just wish people would not consider other people's spiritual lives their business. It isn't.

Freedom of religion is just that. I will not fault a person for having a different belief than I do. And I won't push my belief on anyone who doesn't ask.

Many and diverse religion is ok. Everyone should be tolerant of each others religion. Everyone has their own beliefs, and as long as those beliefs do not include doing harm to others, they should be allowed to practice them freely and openly.

Let me word this correctly, I believe that people should have the right to choose what to follow, if they want to follow anything. I don't dabble down to "it's ok if its right for them" because my faith claims to be the path to the one true Living God. I don't believe we should do away with people just because they don't believe, or believe in what I believe is the wrong thing to believe in.
