form is directied toward Atheist's and Christians. My question regards RELIGION not just Christianity. Muslim/Islamic, Buddhists, Hinduism, are all religions too. They differ from Christianity as well as differing from each other.but they are religions. I know your view concerning Christianity but what is your view on Muslim/Islamic, Buddhism, and Hinduism? Do you reject their beliefs and faith in the same manner you don't accept or believe the Christian faith? Thank You

Yes, as an agnostic I reject other religions in addition to christianity. Otherwise, I wouldn't really be agnostic, I would just be anti-christian, right?

I'm agnostic because I believe that religion (as a body) was a toll designed by man to keep the earlier civilizations from literally going insane because they had no celestial rule. Over time, people began to believe that their religion was the only right religion in the world and anyone who didn't belong died a horrible death.To me personally, that still goes on today and religion just seems like something which keeps us further and further apart from each other, over words which are long gone now.

All humans are spiritual. We all wonder where we come from, why we are here, and what happens when we die. And, spirituality is truly a faith of one. No two people's spiritual beliefs are ever exactly the same. Each of us can achieve lucid comprehension of natural health and joy and goodness without a particular "menu". Some people see spirituality like going to a restaurant and instead of ordering off the menu, they eat the menu itself. And, quite morbidly, they can organize around the menu-eating with rituals and dogmas and fascist notions that THEIR club's way of eating the menu is the "one-and-only-way" to goodness and a first class ticket to heaven. Their's is an unhealthy paradigm.

I reject other religions on the same basis as my rejection of the Christian faith, yes. However. I'm a little more involved in rejecting the Christian faith, because (1) my government seems rather influenced by it, but not by other faiths; (2) I was raised in a Christian culture, so I'm exposed to it in a way I am not to other religions.
But the REASONING for rejection is the same.

Atheists know that there is no God or gods whether that is the Christian God or the Hindu gods. We are equal opportunity disbelievers. Atheists argue more with Christians on this forum because that is what we know (most of us were Christian and/or have Christian friends and family). Also Christians are far more prevalent on this forum and are usually a bit more evangelical.

The concepts of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are least appealing and they're the main reason why I don't believe in god but I do like to read Buddhist and Hindu philosophy, it appeals to me, but not the existence of god

I hate all religion equally. It, in my eyes, is the cause of much of the worlds conflict and war, and without it I think we would be a more peaceful world.

All religions share the same lack of anything compelling enough to take seriously.
