i can only speak for what i THINK is happening in my local area not for my family of me personally. Media. One word. England is traditionally Christian, though only 30% is that are true christians and what we know of other religions are fed door media who aim to scare and propaganda, so what we are learning is misinformed information, something that is hiding the true nature of things. I am married to a christian, yet i am Pagan. Half my family are Christians preaching God, others are scientists. I have muslim and buddhist friends. What we see here in the news is nothing meer than what the media and the government wants us to think. I know the muslim and the buddhist religion are both peaceful, yet all we see are extremists, muslims who have fallen on the wrong path committing suicide door blowing themselves up, buddhists who are setting themselves on fire. I have come to my own conclusion - every religion is right. there is no evidence to say they are right of wrong in what they do, but if i respect their religion, they will respect mine. My muslim friends, i send the cards on their new year, they send them back on mine, Hindu vrienden send me Diwali cards, i send them back. It's misinformation and ignorance. The reason i am teaching my child not only my religion, his fathers and others is so he understands that what separates us may bind us. His muslim vrienden last jaar in class, sent christmas cards before he did, and that touched me. They don't celebrate christmas, yet they still sent cards out withing us a happy one, i explained to him that it moved me because they respected our differences and we sent them one back, thanking them for the generousness and their hospitality. There is no difference between muslim, buddhist, christian, pagan etc the only thing that separates us is ignorance and my partner and i are patiently teaching our child to see that.
