Why do some believers claim that all religions are just as good?

[*Deidre*]

If the news is any indicator, there are far more religious people who defend their own religion, as above all others. ''Better'' than all others. I believe in God, but don't follow religion, per se. I think that religion tends to create a hive mentality, and limits people thinking for themselves. That doesn't mean though that I couldn't find some good in all religions, but when you look at them as a total religion, I don't know if there's any one religion I could entirely agree with. It's not uncommon for people to cherry pick what they like from religions, and just go from there.
