Answer 2

I suppose I could call myself a Buddhist, but only in the sense I follow the teachings of the Buddha. To be too attached to the image of myself as a Buddhist would go against these teachings.

Buddhism does not teach hatred of anyone. If a person follows a religious doctrine and that doctrine helps them make sense of the world and be a better person, then it is a good thing they should follow that religion.

Answer 3

Your question guided me to "Tittha Sutta (Various Sectarians) (1)". You can read the complete sutta at this link:

http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/ud/ud.6.04.than.html

But let me copy a part of it, which will give a clear idea about other religions. This is very true even today. You can see this when you read Q's and A's of other believers in this Yahoo answers. (We must not laugh at them, instead must sympathize). Don't forget to notice the power of Lord Buddha's teachings and how he explains his point using simple and wonderful examples.

"Monks, the wanderers of other sects are blind and eyeless. They don't know what is beneficial and what is harmful. They don't know what is the Dhamma and what is non-Dhamma. Not knowing what is beneficial and what is harmful, not knowing what is Dhamma and what is non-Dhamma, they live arguing, quarreling, and disputing, wounding one another with weapons of the mouth, saying, 'The Dhamma is like this, it's not like that. The Dhamma's not like that, it's like this.'
"Once, in this same Savatthi, there was a certain king who said to a certain man, 'Gather together all the people in Savatthi who have been blind from birth.'"
"'As you say, your majesty,' the man replied and, rounding up all the people in Savatthi who had been blind from birth, he went to the king and on arrival said, 'Your majesty, the people in Savatthi who have been blind from birth have been gathered together.'
"'Very well then, show the blind people an elephant.'
"'As you say, your majesty,' the man replied and he showed the blind people an elephant. To some of the blind people he showed the head of the elephant, saying, 'This, blind people, is what an elephant is like.' To some of them he showed an ear of the elephant, saying, 'This, blind people, is what an elephant is like.' To some of them he showed a tusk... the trunk... the body... a foot... the hindquarters... the tail... the tuft at the end of the tail, saying, 'This, blind people, is what an elephant is like.'
"Then, having shown the blind people the elephant, the man went to the king and on arrival said, 'Your majesty, the blind people have seen the elephant. May your majesty do what you think it is now time to do.'
"Then the king went to the blind people and on arrival asked them, 'Blind people, have you seen the elephant?'
"'Yes, your majesty. We have seen the elephant.'
"'Now tell me, blind people, what the elephant is like.'
"The blind people who had been shown the head of the elephant replied, 'The elephant, your majesty, is just like a water jar.'
"Those who had been shown the ear of the elephant replied, 'The elephant, your majesty, is just like a winnowing basket.'
"Those who had been shown the tusk of the elephant replied, 'The elephant, your majesty, is just like an iron rod.'
"Those who had been shown the trunk of the elephant replied, 'The elephant, your majesty, is just like the pole of a plow.'
"Those who had been shown the body of the elephant replied, 'The elephant, your majesty, is just like a granary.'
"Those who had been shown the foot of the elephant replied, 'The elephant, your majesty, is just like a post.'
"Those who had been shown the hindquarters of the elephant replied, 'The elephant, your majesty, is just like a mortar.'
"Those who had been shown the tail of the elephant replied, 'The elephant, your majesty, is just like a pestle.'
"Those who had been shown the tuft at the end of the tail of the elephant replied, 'The elephant, your majesty, is just like a broom.'
"Saying, 'The elephant is like this, it's not like that. The elephant's not like that, it's like this,' they struck one another with their fists. That gratified the king.
"In the same way, monks, the wanderers of other sects are blind and eyeless. They don't know what is beneficial and what is harmful. They don't know what is the Dhamma and what is non-Dhamma. Not knowing what is beneficial and what is harmful, not knowing what is Dhamma and what is non-Dhamma, they live arguing, quarreling, and disputing, wounding one another with weapons of the mouth, saying, 'The Dhamma is like this, it's not like that. The Dhamma's not like that, it's like this.'"
Then, on realizing the significance of that, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:
Some of these so-called
priests & contemplatives
are attached.
They quarrel & fight —
people seeing one side.
