This is not true for all religious, but a large majority, you can see it prominently in the US. 

For the religious, let's say there's a christian for example. This Christian likely views the world by religions, or identifies them, but most likely he will have little knowledge of what Muslims believe[for ex.]. This creates a distance between those two people. I can garuntee most religious see the world as whatever they believe, and then some other weird people that believe something else. That's at least what I observed in my Bible class. It creates a one-sidedness, where you pay attention to those who follow your religion, and it's not that you don't like the others, but you disregard them because you don't understand their beliefs, this is what believing one religion over another creates, it creates this gap of understanding, whereas Atheists and others see all religions as equal reason to believe based on the lack of evidence for all of them, a religious person won't see it that way. They will see it as people who believe what they believe, but fail to understand how someone can believe something else because of their pre-conceived bias and communal acceptance of their religious preference, not considering other religions as equal reason to believe in.

Thoughts?


(PS: Sorry if I generalized. Normally I can always find the right words, but I kinda lost track of where I was going after feeling like I knew what to say at the start, and wasn't really feeling it, so go easy on me, hopefully you understood what I was saying.) 
What is substitutionary atonement?
I'm sorry are you attempting to prove me wrong by claiming to be jesus?

Otherwise I have little understanding of the point you're trying to make, as even if you believe that Jesus was this "almighty savior" who made a completely selfless sacrifice "for the greater good of humanity" it holds no value, as that is someone else, not you. Also, that is completely irrelevant because even if that was somehow a valid point, it still does not mean a person still can't be completely one sided. In fact, it would probably invoke exactly what's addressed in this thread, because that person would look on to all others who don't appreciate this supposed sacrifice to the extent they do, or don't appreciate it at all and would never be able to understand that position, as it would create an even greater division due to the fact they have deluded themselves in to thinking this is indisputably true.

But all that's irrelevant, and I only elaborated for the sake of entertaining myself, as you failed to meet the first criteria. And with that, your pathetic attempt at trying to act intellectually superior, or claim that I had somehow missed something entirely is in vein, as it doesn't even address the prompt.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?

Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
