As with so many other thingz, Religion too falls into the nature of the paradox, being both positive in it's compassion and generosity of love, whilst also serving us up the negatives of division and intolerance In their natural state, religious metaphors (for the scientific factx of life) provide comfort and spiritual guidence which can benefit people tremendously in their daily lives 
So... It is this which we must focus on Rational and responsible discussion can be entered into, as well as a healthy respect for all people, regardless of whichever metaphors & symbolisms are used and held sacred. Such discussion enables great truth to shine, as realizations occur that every religion describes paths to enlightenment based upon the 'cold' scientific factx at their core Religion basically being reality given colour - within stories - in order for greater understanding to occur; and as awareness grows to the realization of being at one with your infinite-self (and therefore God) it is found that religion and science are not opposites, as indeed all factions under the religious umbrella are harmonized by what is REAL Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Satanism, Rastafarianism, Hinduism, Shamanism etc etc are all joined together by offering exciting metaphors for the core truth There is no need for destructive separation any more We are all one. We are all individual manifestations of your God(s) Allow your own individual beauty to shine, as well as the beauty of any perspectives you have on life - without the need to fight over who's view is 'best', or to preach to/convert anyone (people are highly capable of choosing their own way of looking at life in all it's glory:)) Be yourself Be at peace x
