Why do some people not associate with others than their religion?

that is true and no one should withdraw their love from you because you have certain beliefs.

Most of them seem to be religious, the more religious,  the more prejudiced.  The sad part is that these are the first people to claim that they are not prejudiced,  but their conversation gives them away.  Since religious people live in an artificial world anyway,  most of them never catch on to themselves and remain prejudiced for life.

Because religion is important. Don't assume that just because someone is religious that they are inferior. Remember: Martin Luther Kind Jr., Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, and Jesus himself where all very religious people; while Adolf Hitler and Stalin were all atheist. \n\nAt the same time there are people who use religion as an excuse to participate in things that most people consider to be bad - like the Crusades, and American slave owners using the Bible to justify slavery. (It's odd how Abraham Lincoln and slave owners read the same book but came to very different conclusions about slavery.)\n\nThe point I'm trying to make is that you should judge people by the value of the things that they say, and not based on if they're religious or not.

I think you are wrong. True there are some Christians who try every chance they get to cram down your throat their version of their religion. And is it also true that in other religions that same type of narrow middle zealots exist. So the problem really is one of the zealots not getting along and not the billions of us left in the world who do get along.

gr8 question, gr8 way of thinking, good human nature. where r u from?? LoL\n\nwell the answer is not in religion coz all religions r the same but in the dark nature of the human race who likes always to be the boss the leader and to make everyone different than him under his control. so that's how they r acting both sides. they hate each other not becoz of god but becoz of their benefits. \nLove+respect+humanity+god=Islam+Christianity+jewism+humanism\n\nwish we live in another world..

I didn't realize that we had multiple races outside of "HUMAN". Besides, not all those who disagree with organized religion are atheists. I'm a Non-Denominational Happy Pagan Person.

I believe it comes from a lack of understanding others.  People tend to hate that which they cannot understand.  Combine that with spiritual insecurity and it leads them to try to convince others that their path is the only righteous way towards God.  People speaking of religious tolerance have it all wrong.  To say that you tolerate someone else's religion means that you have pasted judgment on them.  This is something only God can do.  In the end, each person would be a better off if they lead by example and found the place that best allows them to worship and work on their relationship with God.

Maybe because Spirituality and Religion are not meant to be together?  Looks like "religious" folk are not so open to other people opinion while "spiritual" people are willing to talk to anyone.

If I am not mistaken, I don't think this was a generalization made that all non-beilievers are mean spirited and cruel.  (At least I hope not)  I think that each religion gets misunderstood at one time by those not of that religion, and some people just don't know how to address what they don't understand. There are those that do.  They respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs.  I am a Christian, I believe, but i do not force my beliefs on anyone. i may share something about God, but I cannot judge anyone if they do not believe--and I don't think we should judge and ridicule each other.

Why are some people so offensive about other peoples religion?

As it is in life, different religions cannot live in harmony. I personally belong to no religion, and find it easy to tollerate and co-exist with people of other religions. Maybe this is a lesson the children of the future need to be taught.

All religions are similar in many ways...people should respect each others religions no matter what....my family includes hindus .muslims and christians and we never seem to hav conflicts about religion although we r ALL VERY RELIGIOUS AND DEVOUTED TO OUR RELIGION=)

Primarily it's because there are many people across the entire religious and non-religious spectrum that cannot accept that people are different and for whatever reason feel the need to attack those who are different then they are.\n\nAlso, those who have been attacked seem to enjoy attacking others in turn.\n\nAll we can really do though is to support and defend those who are reasonible, respectful and kind and report any and all who want to disrespect, attack and redicule them.\n\nSuch a pity, such a pity.

Hi,\n\nAll religions in this world unites people. But its we people got seperated between each other in the name of religion. Each and every religion tell us to spread love not religion. But we twisted that to our own wish and we try to crush other religion. WE can help religion to unite people by taking good thoughts from every religion and following it. Be it any religion follow that and respect other religion also. This will make the people to rethink about religion and there will be a new hope between us\n\nAnd further more Today is new year so I wish HAPPY NEW YEAR

You see this is the sort of behavior ill never understand. Why if you are secure in your own beliefs would you be so threatened and so angered by someone who has different beliefs. Whether you agree with them or not. I'm a Muslim and it  makes absolutely no difference to me if the person next door worships Jesus, Buddha, Vishnu, the moon or the fairies they think live at the bottom of there garden. Go figure ??

Christians are NOT the only ones who discriminate against others. Most organised religions talk  'smiting the infidel'. They all believe that their's is the one true way.

The way people act is a little different. I used to live in UT, I'm now in Wyoming, not too different but...\nI remember getting exclude in Church because I was friends with a Muslim, and a Catholic kid. I then didn't understand why my LDS friends wouldn't play with my other friends. I'm glad that I now don't know half of my friends religions. A funny way to laugh at this is to watch "Mobsters and Mormons" It's about an Italian mafia family moving to Utah. It's full of so many funny jokes!
