But if all beleifs where tought as a choice along with that of aithisum what would be the out come? A more vaireed mix of belifes? I feel that not many people actualy consider any other religion as corect. But why not? is one faith not as good as another?

frankly, no

any old teaching is not as good as any other teaching. Teachings, especially religious teachings, should be studied hard before they are accepted.

They are not all the same and they do not all inspire faith.

Re: Bible vs. Honest Reality

Would one believe the Bible contains the most important values if one hadn't been taught that from the beginning? If some person who had never been influenced by Christianity, Judaism or Islam picked up the Bible and read through it, would they think it was a book of the most important values?

some would, others wouldnt. Religion and belief is an individual thing. Some a brought up with religion, but then turn away from it, and others, like myself, were not brought up with any religion.

I do believe that some people see the need for religion, and some dont.

Some like complete independence and self determination and others dont.

Re: The truth

So the varying level of faith that is inspired is entirely subjective?

of course it's subjective.

Although I imagine that the definition of 'faith', as I understand it, is most probably different to your's

how do you define faith?
