Actually, there's plenty of need to get angry.
1) The question was loaded. The words chosen were meant to exclude and encourage arguement rather than include and encourage debate.
2) There is a frightening trend in the U.S. brought about by an extremely vocal minority, that all things not Christian are immoral and evil, and thus should be illegal. Conversely, all things Christian are moral and good, and thus should be folded into the foundations of Civic and governmental practice.
3) I've studied and read about almost every religion that could be considered 'Major' currently practiced by humans on this planet. At the very core of their moral teachings they are all the same. The rituals and specifics of belief and practice differ from sect to sect (hell even from region to region within a sect). South American Catholicism is VERY different from European Catholicism. If people who supposedly worship the same God and profess a belief in the same faith can't get along with one another, how can imposing one religion above all others possibly work?
People don't fear Chrsitianity or Islam or Shinto, they fear what the people who want to make them the only option will do to them once they achieve their goals.
