Coercion, proselytizing, looking down on other's belief system and faith all lead to bad blood and eventually a violent show down.

non judgemental religious beliefs - and believers - is a wonderful concept. however, i must state that it is - by the very nature of rigid belief systems, which some call cults - impossible.
btw, those who respond with vigorous assertions that they, thankfully, are not in a cult, will further prove the mind control/brainwashing that they have been subjected to.
example: see jeffrey schaler schaler.net on responses, including death threats, that he received when questioning the aa cult
peace
