Example - the allied armies of WWII - where people of all faiths coexisted and
cooperated in a more important common cause.
And People in many large Multi- National companies - co-exist with others of other faiths - because the Job is more important than their religion - or it may be that religion is defined by the company as a non-issue to begin with.
But - in the end - you can have friends and co-exist with people of all different faiths -or non faiths - simply because you recognize that most people are not defined by their religion.
My grandmother had a saying - there are two type of people in the world - good ones - and bad ones - and you cannot tell just by looking at them which they are. I lived in a town where most of the people I lived near - were of another faith (They were Jewish - I was not) - and we got along because we learned that this didn't matter.
I don't believe you understand the discussion, read the example I posted about faith vs knowledge.
Oh - I understood the discussion
The problem is - when it comes to religion - the most basic claims - the supernatural ones - are ALL faith - and have nothing to do with Knowledge. None can be proven to have any real validity. So - religion does not co-exist with knowledge - at all. IT isn't proven to be Knowledge.
So - I moved the discussion to where it might have validity.
