DB: "thinks every religion has some truth to it. My Muslim friends are right that Jesus was not the son of god. My Christian friends are right that Mohammed was not god's prophet. My Hindu friends are right that there cannot be one god. My Jewish friends are right that there is certainly no more than one god. My Buddhist friends are right that one's conduct should not be affected by the gods. Lots of truths!"
This is World University and School's open, free, editable Religious Studies' 'subject' page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Religious_Studies. It presently has a significant evolutionary biology focus, as well as an atheistic one.
