However, if the religions in essence merely repeat statements from the United Nations Human Rights Declaration, such a Declaration becomes superfluous; an ethic is more than rights.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If your religion doesn't respect the rights of other religions, it is lacking something.
In my opinion, there is one singular problem with religions in general: they are exclusive. To me, this exclusivity is not right.
In principle the great religions of the world do not differ as much as they appear to.
I'd say that all nations have contact with the truth, and all religions have admirable people.
Religion flourishes in greater purity, without than with the aid of Government.
What other nations call religious toleration, we call religious rights. They are not exercised in virtue of governmental indulgence, but as rights, of which government cannot deprive any portion of citizens, however small.
There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.
As a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God's word to justify bigotry and persecution.
Human rights is a universal standard. It is a component of every religion and every civilization.
The UN declaration on human rights must always be first in line before religion or other cultural habits, in case of any conflict between them.
