The above question has inspired my current one in that many of the people that responded said that to switch religions would be like switching ‘everything they believed in/all their beliefs’ and I wondered (I am not religious myself) why that’d be such a big deal – it’s not like religions really vary in all the things one must believe, they just vary in rituals and gods and all that stuff but not in terms of how one views murder or the relationship to others or whatever…am I off here in thinking that to go from, for example, one Abrahamic faith to another wouldn’t be such a stretch, belief-wise? And it’s not like people have beliefs only stemming from their religions, right? Because that’s just, well, scary…
