I just read a diatribe about "What is Religion?". Whomever wrote that apparently assumes that the only Religions are Christianity, Judaism, Islamic. Where he/she is correct that they all pray to the same God. However, there are several hundred religions in this world, that are relevant.
Now you may ask what are these other religions? How about Buddhism, and Hinduism.
In Buddhism there are many Buddhist in the USA. While their may not be as many Hindus in this country, they do have a presents here. They presumedly pray to a different God, or in the case of the Hindu religion many Gods. So it does not matter to which God you pray if you want evil that is bad and must be stopped. I would have no problems with any religion that will leave me along to believe in good, non violence, and the ability to defend myself, if you insist that I must live and believe as you do!
