Why so many different versions of religion? Why so much mutual exclusivity of the various religion doctrines? Belief in one religion shouldn't automatically exclude an individual from believing or practicing in another. That's ridiculous. The different and varying threads in the spirituality of religion have far more in common then...

The importance of religion in a man's life is undeniable. Religion plays a very crucial role in the upbringing and gives an individual his identity.
