I'm secular type of persons and i give regard to all of the religion exists in the world. Actually my parents taught us all religion are same there is no difference between them so we should no discriminate the religion. Always bow your head of any god doesn't matter belongs to christian, hindu, muslim etc..

When I was younger, I did visit other houses of worship besides my own. I was in the Navy and stationed in Spain. There was a world of wonder out there and I absorbed every bit of it that I could. I also did not know a whole lot about my religion of birth and had to start learning about it, which I did.
I traveled to every country that I could and explored every holy place that I could. I also went to every museum that I could. I learned a lot about all aspects of People.

I give respect to other religion so I can go along with them, in their church and pray with them. I just don't want them to take hold of me and control my life and activities.
I am a Catholic and want to stick to it until the end. The most that I dislike is encouraging me to join in a religion wherein those people are giving bad comments to my current religion and challenge my belief just to convince me to join them.
I also dislike those religion monitoring my attendance and reprimand me when I'm absent.
I believe in God and his presence thus I also respect people around him like his saints, angels and his family. I like to see pictures & statues that reminds me of their existence in my life.

I sure have faith in all religions also but i don't like to go alone to such places. One i went to a mosque for the first time. There the people on seeing me registered me as a Hindu and they gave me dirty looks. I quickly thought that maybe that was not the best time to be there and i went off. I have been to church but that too when i was small i gad gone that's all.

A couple of years ago, I went through a very rough patch in my life. I am Catholic and going to Mass after work helped me tremendously. Sometimes though, I left work late or got caught in traffic and missed the services. My solution was simply to go to a church of another faith that was having a service. I believe that God is everywhere not just in the church that I belong to.

I believe the greatest religion is humanity and apart from it then the rest are ways to find a solace towards the Almighty, I always enter a temple or a church because for me no matter what the barriers of mankind are, for me everyone is the same. And I respect them all.

i am a hindu but i dont believe that visiting a holy place or going to a temple is the only thing to do when it comes to god i believe that its more important that we have a inner belief in the god and can pray to him from any place.
but i do give give respect to all religions because i believe all religions preach the same and no religion has talked about violence and i live in a secular country where i meet people of all religions and they are my friends too.

I am a christian. But as a kid and even now...i have visited temples and mosques with friends. I also sit for prayers with my friends. I dont mind sitting in front of the statues or pictures of other GODS. I had seen this add in the news paper.
DiwALI & RAMzan...Who are we to rule lines ....every DIWALI has an ALI in it and every RAMZAN has a RAM in it.
