Sounds like you have found a very closed minded practice in a given religion Thorne.

And I do agree that many western religious fanatics are "my way or the highway types".
Even when thier own sects writtings specifically say otherwise.

Most religions look for universally applied imperatives, simular to Imanual Kant's aplications.

Like: "love thy nieghbor as thyself" or: "and it harm not others do as thou will"

Yet to dismiss "all" spiritual faiths out of course is an arrogant mistake that even Einstien refused to make.
