Ent: yes, the women in Islam typically attend a segregated ceremony while the men are at prayers.

angelz: i don't partake either, at least not beyond being polite. most religions understand that sometimes people want to observe. I live in Thailand, so have been in Buddhist temples several times. Traveled and worked a bit in M.E. so have been in several mosques (also in India where I experienced Hinduism too). I wasn't "searching" at all. frankly seeing the similarities made me more firm in my atheism

Buddhist and Hindu, yes. Islamic, no, except for a pot luck dinner honoring a Muslim speaker whose presentation I attended (but that hardly qualifies as a religious ceremony). I've also been to the services of other non-Christian groups you haven't mentioned here.

I think you have a good point. Far too many people of every religion stick abjectly to their beliefs while knowing very little about other religions. I am a Christian and have never attended such ceremonies, but I regret that I don't know more about other cultures.

When i was a Christian, i went to a buddhist temple type thing. All the buddhists hang out there, it was in the mountains and it was GORGEOUS.
I'm not Christian anymore, but even while i was, i was pretty open minded to other religions.
It was an awesome experience!

I've attended Buddhist and Jewish ceremonies, but haven't had the opportunity to attend the other two.

Never, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Festival of Lights.

Never been invited to one. I would go if invited. Are women allowed to attend Islamic ceremonies?

Never, because in my own personal opinion I feel they are not the truth. I feel the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only truth and by going to a ceremony like that would not be beneficial to my beliefs.

I don't partake in rituals. I have observed all three.
