 | We believe that:
 | Religions are very different.
|
 | Religions teach very different perceptions of God. |
 | All religions cannot be
absolutely true in their beliefs. |
 | With few exceptions, most faith groups have a positive influence
on their members. |
 | Some religions and their followers have committed
terrible atrocities against women and
minorities. |
 | Honest doubt helps prevent many religious injustices. Those who
were most certain of their faith were the ones who stoned the
prophets. |
 | All, or almost all, theistic religions are "bottom-up" faiths.
That is, their beliefs, practices and holy books are the creation of
humans trying to comprehend the deity or deities that they have
created. |
 | Few, if any, of the theistic religions are "top-down" faiths.
That is, their beliefs, practices and holy books represent
revelation from God to humanity. |
|
 | This site describes both the positive and
negative aspects of religions. |
 | It is acceptable to criticize the actions of faith groups where
those actions harm others. |
 | This site describes dozens of faith groups, from
Asatru to
Christianity to
Wicca to
Zoroastrianism.
We cover new religious movements, including
dangerous cults.
We describe non-theistic ethical belief systems, like
Agnosticism,
Atheism and
Humanism. |
 | We describe all sides of each
controversial topic, from abortion, to
physician
assisted suicide, including capital punishment,
evolution
& creation science, and homosexuality.
|

We define "religious tolerance" differently from some people:
 | To be tolerant does not require that we accept other beliefs as true. |
 | By religious tolerance, we mean that everyone - Christians, Jews, Muslims,
Wiccans, and others -- should be able to follow their
own religious beliefs and practices freely. |
 | Religious diversity is increasing throughout North America. We need to develop a
religiously tolerant culture, or the U.S. and Canada are headed for disaster. |
