I would agree with your assesment. Most truly religious people I have encountered are loving and understanding, if somewhat closed minded. The problems I see, are created by the texts themselves, as they are far too vague in what this entity we refer to as "God" actually requires of us. Human nature is apt to create division from misunderstanding, and it is impossible to understand which version of scripture is accurate, if any.
Long ago I decided to forgo the hypocracy so prevelant in the Christian faith. I then studied eastern philosophy, and this lead to physics.Only with a relative understanding of all these, and much more did I find myself coming to a startling revelation.
They are all correct.
