Great minds think alike .
Respect leads to wisdom and knowledge
I have no desire to be Hindu or Buddhist. But studying those faith traditions gave me insights about South Asia I never would have if I chose to remain as willfully ignorant of world culture as Donald Trumpf.

Religion has a place. It has often inspired men to great deeds and charity. It has done much to benefit men. It has also been used to justify imprisonment or murder, clearly not benefits.
Religion isn't good or bad. It just is. To lump all religions as 'bad' is simply bigotry.
All religions are based on some initial circular argument, with arguments extending from it. That in and of itself is not fallacy. The other name for the circular argument is 'faith'.
Religious wars are the most destructive kind of war there is.
Being hostile for the sake of being hostile is just hatred.
Here I again agree with you, oddly enough. Religions are an important part of sociology. To ignore religion is to ignore those factors shaping a society.
Even the days of the week we use here in the United States is religiously based.
Sunday - the day of the Sun.
Monday - the day of the Moon.
Tuesday - also known as "Tyre's" day, a Norse god of war.
Wednesday - Woton's Day. A Norse god of the air and sky.
Thursday - Thor's Day. A Norse god of storms.
Friday - Freia's Day. A Norse goddess of Earth and Fruit.
Saturday - Saturn's day. A Roman god of bounty.
Some of our months have religious meaning. Most are named for a Roman emperor or are just numbered (using the now obsolete Roman reckoning of the New Year, which began in March).
it is difficult to understand the Hopi dances and even the way their villages are constructed without understand the religious symbols behind them.
Similarly, it is difficult to understand a lot about Japan, without understanding the purpose of their shrines and temples, or even how pervasive Shinto or Buddhist beliefs color their literature, and even their video games and movies.
Yes you are. You made a compositional error fallacy involving people as the class: the very definition of bigotry. This is a fallacy.
It belongs everywhere. Why limit it to just your home and a church?
Define this 'enlightenment' you think America needs. You need to be specific.
