# A universal religion is one that holds itself true for all people and thus allows anyone to join, regardless of their ethnicity. In contrast, ethnic religions, like ethnicity itself, can be determined not just by genealogy, but by geography, language, and other social boundaries. In that sense Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism are universal religions, whereas Sikhism, Druze, and Judaism are ethnic religions. However, Judaism may also be considered universal, since there is no requirement for non-Jews to convert, only for them to follow the Noahide Laws. Contrast with Chosen people. Hinduism is also typically an "ethnic" religion, but converts will be able to be re-socialized into this system.
# Within Christianity, Universalism, universal reconciliation, or universal salvation, is the doctrine that all will be saved;
# Universalism is also used as a synonym for moral universalism, as a compromise between moral relativism and moral absolutism.
# Universalism can also mean the wish for a closer union between all people of the world (the emergence of world citizens) and/or the aim of creating common global institutions (democratic globalization).

Google kicks ass!

Where's Agnosticism, Taoist, Scientologist, and Wicca?

I myself am Agnostic, but it's still unfair to leave those other religions out.

I don't aspire to the same religion as you Caleb, so feel free to wish that I was dead.

None of the above. I am beyond the need for singularly labeling religions.

They're the Minor Leagues of Religion.

The thread asks what faith you are and the relentless faith bashing starts. Do make fun of everyone different then you? The handicap? The morbidly obese? What a sad existence. :cry:

Who are you speaking to? I don't see anyone faith bashing. Certainly there aren't even enough posts to qualify for relentless anything.

Jay, the author of this thread is the biggest "basher of faith" in the forum, other than his own.

RD is obviously disillusioned with organized religion, and I was attempting to make a funny. So, I'll go back to what I asked before, explain how either of these comments are "relentless faith bashing."

I'm pretty sure agnostic shouldn't be considered a religion.
