There are a few religions that do this;
Pantheism
New Age
These religions are all taught to not have prejudice or hate against any one person/ other religion. Christianity teaches that you must love your neighbor as you would love yourself and so does Judaism. Pantheism teaches that the world is God and is connected meaning that we must take care of everything and everyone. New Age is just an evolved form of Pantheism which believes that the world is connected and everyone to it, but the earth is just earth, not God. I personally believe that in Atheism, they follow Christian morals, but do not believe in God, so it is an evolved form of Christianity.
(By the way, when I say evolved, I am saying that it derived from it, not necessarily that one is better than the other. My personal opinion is that Christianity is the kindest, but unfortunately, many hypocrites derive from the religion as well just like any other religion. Many people do their best to follow God's instructions on morality)
All religions teach us to believe in God, all religions teach us to love one another, to be kind and compassionate, all religions ask us to live a moral life. There may be different interpretations, and religions and followers of religions may do different things but the commonality between all religions is for us to love God, to seek God, and achieve God. Unfortunately, religions are only a kindergarten, they teach us the ABC of God, then we go round and round in a merry-go-round and we die without going beyond the kindergarten of religion. We don't need to change our religion, but we need to go beyond religion to the university of spirituality which will help us to realize God in the temple of our heart.
An Anthropologist is one good answer, they study all religions as a consistently arrising social phenomenon. It is a social institution on all levels of social order, hard to detect in lower primates but i suspect it is there in a nacent form. So what is going on? Humanity is working to assure the growth of consciousness will have a path forward anon, and that the kids do not have to make the same foolish mistakes the ancestors made; we have taboo, precept, and commandment-WORD! To honour the efforts of all religions and to thereby transcend the divisive is to aproach religion from the state of intellectual freedom. This being the case, lets call this intrepid soul, free. So, a person who believes in all religions is free; that is my answer. -------- Another answer is - one who follows the Baha'i faith. (http://www.bahai.org/)
Christianity is a monotheistic religion founded on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Islam is also a monotheistic religion founded on the teachings of the prophet Muhammad. Both religions have different beliefs and practices but share common elements such as the belief in one God and moral teachings for followers.
Advantages:- Religion gives strengthIn difficult times, it is convenient to be able to turn to something or someone- God is always at hand, and your friendIt can be very comforting to be accompanied by someone that is always there (for he is in your head), who is your friend, and who you can talk to- God is a great metaphor for 'good'It is nice to have something at hand that stands for 'good', and to what you can relate to in daily life- Religion brings togetherReligion brings people together. Not only metaphorically speaking, but physical at well (in church). That is good; so they can stand together.- Rules bring some kind of structureMost religions have rules, and they bring structure in people's lives, especially the not very well educated people. 'You shall not steal' is very clear.- Religion can change peopleIf people have been leading a 'bad' life, religion can help them change for the better.- Religions give answers to intriguing and difficult questionsExamples: where do we come from / who created mankind, what is the purpose of life, is there life after death, does god existDisadvantages- Rules don't match up with feelingsThis can be really very destructive; it destroys lives of people. For instance, think about the hundreds of thousands of homosexuals, who can not live the life they would like, because of the rules of some kind of religion- 'Beliefs' don't match realitySome religions deny important and well proven pieces of science, for instance the dinosaurs.- Strict following of principles can stand in the way of common sense- Religions separateAs religions are able to bring people together, it can create a huge gap between them - of different religions. For they all 'believe', but they still see only the differences, and not the similarities.- Co-responsibility for (bad) governmentIf you supported in anyway the government of a religion, you are responsible for their actions (be it a tiny bit). If you only sympathy with the religion, many will treat you as if you are responsible for the actions of the government of the religion.
They believe many different things; what they believe will depend on the specific religion.A religion is usually about having some kind of supernatural belief, in things for which there is no good evidence, or insufficient evidence - for example, most religions believe in a god, or gods. Some religions don't believe in a god, but do believe in other supernatural things.
i have no idea :( sorry
Ostensibly all of these do, but they have different amounts of success in effectively communicating this message.
Usually people of many different religions came to french colonies.
Success encourages me.
Usually Muslim.
Christianity.
Some people aren't Catholic because they were exposed to different religions when they were children so when they became older, they kept their religion. For example, if I was born in Japan, I'd be more exposed to religions such as Buddhism since there is more Buddhism there than say the Middle East. Some people's parents weren't Catholic so they were taught by their parents more about other faiths. It is kind of hard for some people to convert to another faith because they learned most of their spiritual knowledge from another faith and it contradicts with other beliefs from otehr faiths.
Always! Everyone knows that the sun is in the sky. Many ancient religions involved some kind of sun-worship.
Muslims; as all people of other faiths and religions; believe that prison is a kind of justifiable punishment on violating laws.
Christianity, mainly. There probably still is a Catholic majority, but it seems that people are gradually defecting from the Catholic church, and changing to different Protestant churches.
Polytheism.
yes
