Doesnt taking sides on religion cause agression and a feeling superiority over other religions. Each religion is usually of the same people, so wouldnt that encourage racism as well? Why is it that each religion is imaged after the people who created it and not created in the image of all people?

When you believe in a religion for example christianity, you go along and believe that Jesus was the son of god etc but along comes a muslim who believes he was just a prophet, and that everyone back then was a muslim. The thing is religions cross lines into each other and thus begins the debate, we harass and do whatever is necessary to reach a goal and the refusal to co operate makes it much harder for both to reach a common goal, those were just an example.

Taking sides can - which is why there are a lot of angry and superior-feeling atheists. That's definitely a side.
As for racism, that's not supported by the facts, as least as far as Christianity is concerned. I can tell you, before becoming a Christian, I used to be somewhat racist due to my New Jersey upbringing. Since becoming a Christian, I now often feel more comfortable with African-Americans than other Caucasians. That's not true for all religions, of course - e.g. Islam - but for CHristianity I can definitely say that.

In some people - probably most - yes. I do not feel superior or "hate" any particular race. I do admit I've put some harsh answers up here .. but I will answer to God when He calls me for that so don't you worry about it. By no means am I perfect. I do believe my religion is the correct one but that does NOT give me the right to run around and put every other religion down. I have no right to judge. It's not my place. Never has been, never will be. What irks me to no end is when I'm lumped in with the looney-toons out there who get the Holier-Than-Thou stick up their butts and INSIST that they were put here to belittle and demean (sp?!) everyone else. Poo on them. Please don't let the fruitcakes and nutjobs out there give you any bad feelings towards those imperfect believers.

I don't think most Christians are physically imaged after Jesus. He is from a different religion, Jewish, and culture, then we followers of the western world. I don't feel the least bit aggressive or superior to anyone.

Aren't you bias and dogmatic when you DON'T believe in a religion. You're statements right then were biased. Truly, not believing in a religion will make you JUST as biased as NOT believing in a religion.

Are you biased and dogmatic when you choose not to believe in a religion? Do you not hold yourself above believers and think yourself better than them? Yeah, that is what I thought.

Religion is not the problem, people are.
Most religions in the world do not support racism; people pervert the religions and make them evil.

the concept of religion itself is based on a superiority of thought. So obviously, this is a given when saying you belong to this set of doctrines.

Each religion is of the same people? Well I'm Catholic and all races are welcome in the Church. Jesus is the head of the Church and the question is would Jesus discriminate by race? Of course not!

in case you have ever taken a composition II type, then you definately could understand that "dogma" does not seek advice from a non secular concept, yet a particular theory. Examples of the word Dogma: "in case you think in a God, then meaning you're delusional" "in case you think of there is not something incorrect with abortion, then you definately are evil" "in case you have not got faith in God, you are going to hell" "God hates fags" The word dogma does not seek advice from a faith in any respect, yet fairly particular suggestions held with the aid of persons. With that mentioned, i'd desire to disagree alongside with your definition of "dogma." the version between my theory of "dogma" from yours, is that I found out it from taking a path that surrounded itself with arguments which includes those. Do i think of the bible is dogmatic? What precisely isn't dogmatic that certainly has a collection opinion approximately something?
