What religions are most accepting of alternative beliefs. . .?

The Universalist Unitarians are probably the closest thing to what you are asking.\n\nNot a specific religion but more a conglomeration of them and generally, as far as religious people go, extremely welcoming and not prone to proselytizing.\n\nI am generally against y kind of organized religion because of the negative effects that seem to come from it (especially these days) but even I can't really find too much fault with them, they are all about spiritual growth and worshiping in your own way... kinda odd but different at least.

What is the correct religion? Are they a correct one?

Facts ... I believe in "God". I am not able to accept the Christian version of monotheism. I consider it illogical and it makes no sense to me. I do not lie awake at night not believing. The Bible is not perfect. It has been mistranslated by numerous translators in various translations. Christianity is not the worlds longest running religion. There was Judaism and Hinduism and several others prior to 2000 years ago that are still alive and well. You asked for facts. Those are facts. I'm not Christian. That doesn't bother me. You are Christian. That doesn't bother me either. Instead of worrying about others and their relationship with "God" or their lack of same maybe there's something else you need to be looking at? Just a thought. And that's a fact. :-)

I was about to ask you what you meant by "pagan", but a couple of others have already taken the dictionary definition to pieces, so I'll plunge right in! I'm a Hindu, by the way. Your comments on Hinduism are absolutely correct- I'm seriously impressed! You sound like you know what you're talking about :-) Personally, I feel that Hinduism is more of a way of life than a religion. It's just too vast to be classified as 'pagan' or not. Hinduism is one of the most tolerant religions, and it gives its adherants the freedom to seek God in their own ways, whatever those may be. For me, the ultimate message of my religion is the same as that of every religion- love, tolerance, and the unity of all life. But getting back to your question, it really depends on how you define the term 'pagan'!

*Muttering for some of my better answers this last week got caught in those deletions*\nI myself am a rather strange mixture of eastern (mostly Buddhist), druidic and shamanistic beliefs. As to information sources, this one seems pretty good for a one stop comparison of most major religions including wicca. http://www.religionfacts.com

paganism is a huge thing, it simply means anyone not believing in the biblical god, so buddhists, shinto, native american religions, native african religions, aboriginal austrailians, eskimos, as well as wiccans and the followers of the ancient viking traditions are pagan, so which sort of pagan do you want to be? there are thousands of books out there.  drop me a line if you want more info. Blessed Be.

What a great question!!!!! Thanks for asking. This is really neat.\n\nI'm a practicing Hindu.\n\nMy second-favorite religion would probably be Jainism. It stresses Ahimsa..nonviolence...of which I am a big fan of this sacred principal (practiced in Hinduism and Buddhism, too, but not to the degree of Jainism). I find myself very fascinated with so many of the teachings of Jainism and many of the similar practices between Hinduism and Jainism, and yet their differences...especially theologically.\n\nNow, just in case you are one of those folks that considers Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism to all be part of the "Hindu" branch....then just in case, my answer would then be the religion of Baha'i (it's technically Abrahamic since it comes from Babism which comes from Islam which comes from Christianity which comes from Judaism...long strand there!). The Baha'i religion is very tolerant, very respectful of other religions (just as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Taoism are). The Baha'is teachings are somewhat similar to Hinduism is some areas, but follow a more Abrahamic traditional approach. While their houses of worship are very different from Hindu worship and even Christianity's worship, it is still great. It is sort of like Unitarian-Universalism where there is a reading, some discussion, maybe some songs, etc. \n\nMy third would be Unitarian-Universalism....assuming you consider it a seperate religion....some consider it a denomination of Christianity. Mainly because of their tolerant views and their focus, not on a creed or religion, but on the inherent worth and dignity of every human being.

If you're looking for a religion based on that criteria then I doubt religion is for you.  But personally, I don't believe in religion at all... just the truth that GOD is ALL

I have often wondered.  That's why I carefully examined every religion (and continue to re-examine).  I am a Christian not just because I have rejected other religions, but also because I accept the Bible.\n\nPascal's wager might be a good starting place for looking at religion, but that in and of itself isn't much of a basis for a foundation.

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.

Pagans of all paths tend to be very open minded. We're not the sort to get upset about what someone believes or doesn't believe, and we're not into trying to convert people. If you're meant to walk the path, you'll find it on you're own. If you ask, we'll help as much as we can, but the decision is yours. All religions have their merits, and it's not my place to tell you that you're wrong. Many people think that Pagans have issues with Christianity, but the truth is that most of the time the issues are with they way we are and have been treated. We believe in live and let live.

What else is there left to belief in if there is no religion?

"Which religion is more about peace and not supremecy."\n\nThis is a very interesting question that touches all aspects of our life.  It also speaks to power.  Meaning, what religion attempts to wield power over another?  Over a nation?  Over the entire globe?  And as you so correctly stated, over the animal kingdom?  Which would also include, the environment?\n\nIn my humble opinion, all monotheism attempts to wield power.  It is inherent in the idea that their single god is supreme.  The only one.  The greatest of the great - in that all other gods are false.  From this standpoint, tolerance for the "other" is an impossibility if the "other" does not accept the monotheism being proselytized.  And, if you accept the truth implicit in the idea that "absolute power corrupts absolutely," is it any wonder that our world, historically and currently, has suffered, is suffering, such mind boggling death and destruction, pure horror & evil, at the hands of those who so passionately believe that their god is the greatest of the great?  With this in mind...\n\nThe only religion that could possibly be tolerant and peaceful would be the one that is inclusive of all, and accepts the gods of the "other."  And does such a religion exist?\n\nIt does.  Wicca.\n\nBeing Wiccan means you not only accept the gods and goddesses of all religious pantheons but you work with them.\n\nI honestly believe this is the fundamental basis of the fear people have towards Wicca.  Wiccans are branded, falsely, of being Satan worshipers, plus a host of other misrepresentations.  This is done by those who weild religious power (read monothesim) in order to induce fear.  In order to keep their flock "in line."  If you frighten the shite out of your followers so they're terrified to even take a passing glance, you retain power over them.\n\nWicca is the most inclusive of all religious and spiritual paths.  It's also mind boggling to the vast majority because they simply cannot get their minds around the idea of accepting all relgious panteons, let alone working with them.  Consequently, the persecution and senseless death exacted against those who have the affrontary of following and working with such an all encompassing spiritual pursuit.\n\nBlessed Be.

Are you unwilling to accept the fact that there may be more to this discussion than you or I or anyone else can understand? When you phrase a question the way that you have, you leave no room for the possibility that you may be misinformed. Are you willing to state that there is NO possibility that things may not be as described in the bible? I can tell that you are a devout Christian, but Christianity also preaches acceptance. There are many other beliefs out there. Many of them are viable. People do not need to accept that there is a hell if their belief suggests something else. Just some thoughts; close-mindedness is not a Christian virtue, but it is often a Christian practice. You will have a much more enlightened existence if you allow yourself to occassionally view things from the perspective of somebody else.

Most all Pagans believe in it. Shinto, Wicca, Asatru, Animism, Egyptian Pantheonic Religion, Greek/Roman Pantheonic Religion, Maya, Incan, Aztec, Shamanism, and many other religions believe in it.
