Religions and Conflict

There is no conflict between Christianity and Judaism

There is no conflict between Christianity and Islam; between Islam and Judaism; between Hinduism and Buddhism; Hinduism and Islam, or any pair of religions.

In fact, there is no conflict between any of these, and a secular perspective that values empirical evidence over revealed wisdom.  Many of the best minds in science and in religion are comfortable with toes dipped in each pool.  

The conflict is with those who lack the imagination or confidence to feel that their beliefs are right, without insisting that all others are wrong – and with those who manipulate them for their own purposes.
