Religion should instill cooperation and respect, especially to others beliefs.
I find that Zen (The religion that isn't) is good for this.
It makes me sad when people forget the purpose of a religion and begin to see it as a seperate entity. When you do that you begin to assign value and worth to it, and then you begin to assign value and worth to everything in hierarchy.
Nothing is worth anything, not even ourselves. We are all just component parts of a big entity and are essentially the same. I may not look like a pencil but from my body you can make several pencils.
Toudy, do you have any rescources on Shinto, I'd like to learn more about it.
