i think this is something alot of religious people cannot understand. i totally agree- religion is principally about having faith- if you have faith, you will be rewarded accordingly.
but i always was disgusted with certain major religions (in the US) that try to convert you to believe their ideology, and condemn people who dont agree with them as sinners and hellbound. I dont notice this kind of behavior from muslims, who typically respect other people's faith and dont try to convert non-muslims.
i think alot of the current issues in the world revolve around religion and race, unfortunately. but the only way you can realize that is if you step outside the box.
