Indeed.  Religion is like walking into the fiction section of a bookstore.  There will be a SF/fantasy section, and a Horror section, and a Romance section and a Mystery section, and even within those sections, with books from the same author, there will be differences.  Some people will read all genres; some will zero in on one particular section; some will be fans of only one or two authors, and not bother with any of the other books.

I actually take those who switch religions more seriously because it shows they're thinking. I might not agree with their conclusion but I respect the fact that they have critically examined what they were indoctrinated with and looked outside of that.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

They certainly couldnt agree at the advent of islam..................now could they, lol.?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No sooner than Big Mo had kicked the bucket "muslims" were slitting each others throats over who the chosen prince was to be. They continue to do so to this day.

I wouldn't presume to think they're thinking. Some of the folks I've known switch because of purely emotional reasons.
