I see the modern non-violent versions of Christianity and Islam as the radicals. They have found a way of continuing to put forward the texts as some sort of divine message, while managing to ignore or argue away all the hideous violence contained within. In the best cases, they even manage to ignore all the bigotry too.
I don't know how they manage it, but these people who are really bad at their religion are the best kind of people in my estimation. I understand this is a weird kind of compliment, but it is one, nonetheless. I'll take a non-violent outcome anyday, however a person comes to that conclusion. I also understand that they don't consider themselves bad at their religion, and it is indeed just my opinion. What I really mean is that they are bad at taking what is written too seriously, which is a very good thing.
