Given the strong disagreements on this board about religion, I thought that it would be nice for people to post compliments about religions (or other viewpoints) that they don’t belong to or share.
I’ll start, as a Presbyterian:
Some of the kindest, most considerate and nicest people I know are nonbelievers.
Buddhists are also a group that I have nothing against. I know next to nothing about Buddhism, but they seem to be a peaceful group, and we need more peaceful people in the world these days.
This beauty of this board is it gives you time to get to know the people behind the beliefs and non beliefs.
You get to understand a little bit about people that you previously may not have understood. That's a good thing.
We are in the end more similar then we are different.

I very much agree. We tend to discuss differences and that can sometimes make them seem bigger than they actually are.
When I went to my 10 year class reunion I went with the purpose of asking out the girl I loved, and I did and she said yes. Then later in the evening I asked her to leave with me. I just wanted to open my heart and tell her everything I could never say before, as when we spent time together at school I was mostly silent. After I asked her to leave with me, she slowly moved herself away from me to the next circle of people talking and my heart sank. And I haven't seen her since.
Then another girl walked up to me and I ended up leaving with her. I went out with her for 6 months and then we broke up.
There is a whole lot more to the story, but it was after that God got my attention. And I haven't dated since. And I'm surely not looking for any dates now, being a washed up old man. I have the vision of marriage that God shared with me and I look to that.
So many nice and loving things seem to go left unsaid. It seems that saying mean things is more defensive in nature. I figure that is why in youth it seems if a boy likes a girl or vice versa, they pick on each other to get attention. To not be vulnerable. Although that was not the case with the girl in my first paragraph, it was just silence, and that is also how we parted.
I know, I was real selfish jerk in what I did, leaving with that other girl. I didn't deserve either of them.
P.S. After I wrote that, it reminded me of the Moody Blues song "Question".

What part of "say something nice" don't you understand?
What part of following and obeying Our Creator don't you understand? Made up religion for personal gratification is just that, made up and worthless.
