Do you have an open mind about all the other religions in the history of mankind?

That wasn't my point.

My point was about not being completely closed off to the possibilities of things we can't see or touch.

Being educated on religion and other faiths opens your mind to other cultures and makes you a better and more educated person for it. Not necessarily to believe everything, that wasn't my point. We can be part of one culture and broaden our horizons by learning about others and take interest in others. You don't have to join/take part in, but you don't have to ignore it either.

It was also directed at some of the disparaging comments about believing in these things, they could open their minds to the possibilities. Not sit there and say they believe or to choose a religion but not be so narrow minded that they cast it all aside as though it's worthless.

Also, having faith or being in touch with spirituality doesn't always lead to an organised religion.
