THE UNITY OF RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE
It should not be a problem for anyone if another person is a Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, atheist or anything else. That should be the persons own right, their own affairs which it is not for us individually to judge. Religion should be an individual matter, not a state or community enforced belief (which only means that it is a form of hypnosis or social control). Each individual should be free to critically examine all religious teachings and reject what they don't find to be true. Insisting that people accept the validity of all religions, just like insisting that they accept the validity of one religion, can be a form of social domination, not furthering the individual in his or her own discovery of Truth.

This is no different than how the different sects of Hinduism relate. A Shaivite and Vaishnava, for example, don't have to agree on all aspects of their beliefs to have harmony with one another.
