I would love to hear from adherents to all different religions. I would like to know if all people are allowed at your worship service or whatever it is that you have. And if they are allowed to fully participate in all aspects of the service. I hope I'll get answers from a variety of religions.

As a Tibetan Buddhist, I'd say all are welcome to hear the Buddha's teachings who want to... there are always all kinds of people from various faiths who visit His Holiness the Dalai Lama's teachings when he goes places and they're always warmly welcomed. I never have a problem with others from other religions wanting to understand.

I don't know of any religions that will NOT allow you to. I'm not sure about some far eastern religions. Attending a worship service is one thing, but becoming a member of a religion goes a little deeper. I'd say that any religion that allows you to "join" it after one service or one prayer or whatever is not good. You need to thoroughly know the belief system of ANY religion before you try to join it.

Yes, all are welcomed at synagogue services. The main services are Friday night and Saturday morning. On Saturday mornings you can hear Bible verses chanted in the original Hebrew while reading the English text.

In the Catholic church you are welcome to come. The only thing is you can't receive Eucharist until you are a Catholic. This is for your protection...it's important that someone not receive without understanding fully the Eucharist and the reception of this sacrament.
St. Paul says that someone who receives the Body of Christ unworthily is in grave danger.
So, other then that...you are welcome to come and fully participate in all other aspects. If you are interested in knowing more there are many websites and the Church offers a program called RCIA (rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) which will answer all your questions.

I am a Jehovah's Witness and everyone is encouraged to come to our meetings at the Kingdom Hall. We love to have visitors and everyone is very friendly. There are no restrictions with the exception of the once a year celebration of the Memorial of Christ's death. Only the annointed partake of the emblems on this occation because the Bible says that it is wrong to partake of them if you are not called and chosen by God to rule from heaven. Of the approximately 100 in our congregation, only one partakes and many congregations have no one who partakes. Most of the annointed have already been resurrected to heavenly life.

Ya. But you have to have an open mind ready to question everything, keep searching for answers, and let my religion take you where it will. The truth has no agenda. I,too, am an atheist. Come to the lab.

Sure! Come to a non-denominational Christian service...music and bible teaching. You can participate fully---no restrictions. If you happen to show up at a service where we take communion, you too may participate in that. I suggest bible classes prior to church service. They are less formal and are conducive to "give and take".

Im unsure with reference to the 1st 4 religions yet being a Sikh, I beleive that there is just one God and he/she would be in a position to take this variety of the different God. working example Sikhs ought to declare that Ram, Allah and Jesus are each and each of an identical. despite the fact that Sikhs can call God anybody, the main straightforward term would be Vaheguru, Vah ability ask your self and Guru ability instructor, so basically it ability staggering instructor. This opinion is in the instructions of my faith, that we could continually study to accpet each and each others variations and perspectives and only be united as one. in my opinion that is incredibly not significant because of the fact if somebody desires to beleive in greater then one god or only one god they could be allowed to.

No; the rites of my religion cannot be practiced in the presence of another living person.
You can practice them on your own, though -- if you can figure out on your own what they are, since I can't tell you.

Well us atheists don't really have one. But we do have a few organizations and if you want to come to them go for it. They are pretty boring.
