I understand what you are saying Vautrin....but it kind of comes down to this: If a person says they believe in 'major religion of choice' with all their heart....but they believe other religions are equally as good.....then obviously they don't belive in what they think they believe in.
It makes for a nice politically correct statement.....but it would make no sense. I'm not downing other people's choice of religion....but if I think theirs is equal to mine....then I don't really believe anything. Then it's just a club...not a life choice or a true love for my own God.
I think if someone professes to no God...that's their choice too. And actually....that person is being more honest with themselves than the person who says they are a Christian but Hinduism is just as good. That would be a stupid statement. Same is true the other way around.
Does it cause wars? Sure it does. Only something you feel very strongly about in your heart is worth dying for. If a person is all wishy-washy....then they don't really believe in anything.
