About religious web sites:

There are literally millions of religious web sites on the Internet. On 2007-JUL-21, the Google search engine found:

bullet346 million references to "God;"
bullet255 million references to "religion;"
bullet143 million references to "Jesus;"
bullet96.3 million references to "Islam;"
bullet90.1 million references to "Christianity"
bullet15.8 million references to Judaism;"
bullet12.8 million references to "Wicca."

Unfortunately, religious web sites often exhibit a special problem: a lack of objectivity. Often they are designed to promote the faith and beliefs of the webmaster or sponsoring agency; their goal is to convert their visitors to the religion promoted by the web site.

About this web site:

Our site is one of the few exceptions. We don't care what your religion is. We only care about whether you are willing to be religiously tolerant -- that is to accept the right of other folks to follow their own spiritual path even if it is very different from your own.

In this web site, we try to:

bulletExplain objectively all of the major North American religions;
bulletExplain all points of view on controversial religious and moral topics, like equal rights for homosexuals, abortion access, spanking children, etc.
bulletPromote religious tolerance: treating others fairly and with respect, even though they follow a religion that is different from yours.

We recommend that you read the following introductory essays:

bulletEvaluating the reliability of religious web sites, including this one
bulletAn explanation of our web site's mandate and organization for first time visitors.
bulletWhy religious tolerance is critical to North America and the rest of the world.
bulletCurrent religious trends in North America.
bulletOur financial needs -- why we would appreciate your help.

If you are still interested in exploring more of this website, we have a list of really important essays -- at least we think that they are key articles. You may not agree.
