Simply put, I'm an eclectic Pagan.
I respect many religions for many different reasons.
I respect atheists for their logical and rational approach to what can be observed and proven, versus following something they cannot be sure of. Most that I have met have outstanding ethics and well-formed morality.
I respect Buddhists for their sense of compassion for not only their fellow man, but for all living things. I have never met one who was terribly unhappy, and it seems they would like nothing more than to extend that bliss to anyone they can.
I respect Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) for their passion for knowledge. There are few LDS I have met that take everyone else's word for what they believe in - they all form their own opinions about things no matter how their fellow LDS feel about it.
I respect religious Satanists (not to be confused with posers or dabblers) for their self-sufficiency. They are just and unyielding even in the face of the most unstable situations, and will defend those they love to no end.

I am Christian as well as being a Native American Chief . I also do alot of healing work through meditation and prayer. This ,one might call aMedicine woman . Please be clear on this ,It is God that does the healing ,I am just the vessel.
I respect all faiths and believe that each person has the right to choose. I think it is the different rituals and the beautiful music that goes along with them that fascinates me the most.

I'm a Deist.
I respect religions that are based on logic and reason the most, and there are very few of those. Mainly Deism, Pantheism, Panentheism, and Agnosticism.
However, I don't really worry about another persons religion as long as they are a good person and someone I can be friends with.

I am Wiccan. I believe in God but as a God and a Goddess. I respect Jesus and his teachings. I also respect people like Budda and others. I love to learn about other religions.

my ownself . my own realisation is my religion. i dont follow any specific realigion. But yes i try to learn and know more about each and everyone because at one or the other point they have something in real. But i dont look at the customs and ways i only look for the reason and deepness of that. Every religion has something very good in it belive me. Like in hindu its God existence beliefs and past incidents based on the present stuffs , in muslim its unity , in chinese its light and dark side and in christian its jesus.
So yes basically there is still lot more to learn and there is no end.

I'm Christian, but I respect how many muslims are so devoted to their God by praying 5 times a day and how muslim women cover up for modesty and respect for their husbands.

I would not exclude anybody founded entirely on faith, any faith. If he have been with me he could without doubt have an open brain and I'm definite we would rub off on each and every different ;) ~atheist~

I am a Christian, but I really respect those who believe in their faith so strongly that they will knock on doors to tell people. (Not that I want anyone knocking on my door, but I do respect them.)
