There are religions besides Christianity.
They were also created by people who want to control other people.
When a Jewish temple was shot up by a hater in California,
the Christian Orthodox church across the street took them
all in whilst the authorities did their thing.
Had the tables been turned, the Jews would have done the
same thing.
Society benefits when religions complete with each
other in the arena of good works, especially
when they cooperate with each other.
That's why I'm non-denominational.
Most the friction comes from haters of religion.
Sure there are obnoxious members that evangelize
incorrectly, but they do not hold a candle to the
Hate coming from the Left.
True...
Most religions contend: We are right, everyone else is wrong, we are
better than you.
Well, usually it's specific people within each denomination who say such
things - not everyone.
So which denomination has it right?
The one I belong to of course.
In 1864 Pope Pius IX pointed out 80 erroneous statements that were being
put forth by the liberals and modernists. Among them:
15. Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which,
guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true. €” Allocution
€śMaxima quidem,€ť June 9, 1862; Damnatio €śMultiplices inter,€ť June 10, 1851.
16. Man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of
eternal salvation, and arrive at eternal salvation. €” Encyclical €śQui
pluribus,€ť Nov. 9, 1846.
17. Good hope at least is to be entertained of the eternal salvation of
all those who are not at all in the true Church of Christ. €” Encyclical
€śQuanto conficiamur,€ť Aug. 10, 1863, etc.
18. Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true
Christian religion, in which form it is given to please God equally as
in the Catholic Church. €” Encyclical €śNoscitis,€ť Dec. 8, 1849.

There is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church. Given that the
Chair of Saint Peter has been vacant since 1962, there probably isn't
any salvation in it either.
