I'd certainly like to think so, seeing as how I have no religion. If someone remarks to me that they are of a particular religion and I don't know much about the practice of it, I may ask a few questions out of curiosity.

I may remark on some people throwing the fact that they have religion in anothers' face, and other people's baseless claims that their religion is the "true" one, but I'm always careful to point out that some people, and not all, in these particular groups do so.

Though I do believe religion is the underlying cause of wars fought in our world... because other people can't accept that others do not believe in their views.

I would have to say im open minded about most things im a baptized Seventh Day Adventist and i firmly believe in the Bible but i try to be open minded a listen to other peoples sides of the story. Like for instance I kinda believe in Karma because its kind of true that if you treat someone messed up they will probably have less respect and treat you that way I mean i dont really believe we will come back as different animals but I believe in that aspect because it kind of goes along with the Bible.

Very. If not then the truth could come past you one day and you will be stubborn and not accept it. Then when judgement comes you will have to give a reason why. But being open doesnt mean taking in everything you hear. Especially the things that are no where to be found in the bible.

i guess that depends what you mean by open minded. There are some things im not open minded about because God has clearly told me otherwise. But in general yes. You cant learn anything if you arent. But once you learn it there isnt much point doubting it.

Open minded to open minded religions. Religions that preach hate and exclusion don't deserve open mindedness.

sure, im open to listen to whatever someone has to say about religion, ive even studied theology. Ill listen to their ideas, where they get their values etc. Doesnt mean im going to buy it tho. Since ive studied basically every modern religion, and many past religions and mythologies, and am pretty well versed in them, and more knowledgable than those who preach at me, id have to say im open minded to learning about religion...but again, i dont believe in any god, it logically doesnt make any sense.

I believe I'm open-minded, although being open-minded does not mean that I don't have my own religious convictions. It just means that while I have my own firm religious beliefs, I respect the religious convictions of others even if they vary with mine. I go so far as to respect the convictions of atheists. Not that I think they're all correct and that their beliefs are in accordance with truth, or that their beliefs don't matter. Their beliefs do matter, but I'm convinced that it's MY BELIEFS that are in accordance with truth. But my open mindedness stems from that fact that I see everyone - including myself - as being in a spiritual journey, in a process of spiritual discovery, bringing us closer or farther away from the truth. But if people are honest with themselves, I believe they will all come around to arriving at THE TRUTH. As God is quoted in the Bible: "And ye shall seek me and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart." So I'm open-minded and I let them to take their time. As others respected me and have been patient with me, I too ought to be respectful of and patient with others.

I am open minded enough to listen, learn, question, understand and respect every religion, faith, belief and non-belief system.

What I am not open minded to is when people tell me I am wrong and they are the only ones who are right.

I'm open to new evidence but as it stands now I reject the religions that man has created.
