Most religions do teach love and compassion, from Christianity and Islam to Wicca. Its the freaks who take religion way too far that teach hatred.

no thank God love and compassion has not died. we teach love and compassion all the time!! there isn't just one faith that teaches these things thank God, but a number of them. the problem is that too many people choose not to listen or take it to heart. but we can't give up, there are alot of good people who still show compassion and love. God holds up those who show his love and tolerance of others just like he did. the Lord himself was friends with the lowest of all people and showed love to them. so there is hope for all of us yet!!

True Christianity teaches those things. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Love your enemies, bless those who persecute you. love your neighbor. Take the log out of your own eye so you can see more clearly to help your brother take the speck out of his. All these things teach love and compassion and tolerance.
What they don't teach is the acceptance of sin. Many people confuse calling behaviors wrong with intolerance. When I love a person and have their best interest in mind, I have to tell them the areas in which they are walking the path of destruction. It must be done in love.

If you consider Buddhism as a religion, it does. Just an FYI Buddhism is at its roots atheistic, so to me, its not really a religion. I am an Buddhist atheist. :-)
The religion of B'ahai is also very tolerant, from what I understand. Unitarians are, too.

There are many religions that teach you that you should have compassion and love for your neighbor. The real question is "what religion practices love for neighbor?" In all my searching I have only found one that does.

I guess that would be Jainism or Buddhism. Certainly it wouldn't be one of the religions which call for eternal torture.

Buddhism, for we know that we are all connected to each others lives far more than many ever realize.
