text: I agree with you 100% .  I too am an athiest, but I have great respect for the teachings of the religions, whether Islam, Jdaism, Christianity, Hindu etc.  The basic belief is summed up by the Christian commandment of "do unto others..." \n\nThe problem comes when we get an "our god's better than your god" type of confrontation, because that is just using religion as a tool to promote racism, and that is absolutely against everything that most religions stand for!\n\nI'll get off my soap box now.
