You've hit it on the head, what you've stated can represent all monotheistic religions and their so-called practitioners to a key. Being agnostic, I personally don't believe in religion or necessarily think highly of people that do, but if one decides to practice ones faith properly without resorting to fanaticism and a blatant disregard of others in terms of culture, race, creed, etc., then more power to them. But unfortunately, in American culture anyway, it seems to be the minority who truly follow the teachings and practice them to the best of their abilities, which is beginning to severely change the image of Christianity completely. One can only hope for the blind to open their eyes and realize their false faith defies all that they supposedly believe in.
