Actually it's quite simple as to why I've dismissed other religions. Once I gave up my Christianity, I came to realize the one big question: Why would god choose a small subset of people to give his laws to, instead of giving them to everyone? I saw much of the same sexism and homophobia in other religions as I did Christianity. But more than that I saw that they were no different from Christianity. A small group of people when the whole is considered. One area among the hugeness of this earth. Why give truth to a small group of people, expecting them to live by the rules you set, and then not telling the rest of the world what your rules are? Most of those religions also require one thing to run them: Money. They would not sustain if they did not have money. None had an ancient set of morals that screamed 'too ahead of their time to be the values of the people who wrote the texts.'
The whole tone of Church teaching in regard to woman is, to the last degree, contemptuous and degrading. - Elizabeth Cady Stanton
