[quote=Anonymous]My experience of growing up in a Jewish town and becoming an evangelical Christian in my teens was the opposite of your experience. All my Jewish and Hindu friends remained in my life when I was a Jesus zealot. When I dropped my evangelical beliefs, my Christian friends rejected me and said I was a "backslider." All religions and ideologies have a spectrum of religious intensity and fundamentalism. The more black/white us vs. them thinking you subscribe to, the more you judge others and feel judged by them. We're programmed to feel safest and happiest when part of a tribe, and to practice in group/out group behaviors. So that's all normal. But there's nothing special about a belief in Jesus that inspires more judgment than any other belief in the superiority of your in group.[/quote]
