All religions are not the same, and even minor differences can make a big difference in how we act. Many in the secular world seem to believe that all religions are essentially the same and if we could somehow understand that, no one would fight any more.

Very relevant reading in today's political climate, and refreshing to see that someone actually understands that religious people are not all the same. Check it out here:
