I am tolerant to Christianity and Islam mainly because of their contributions to the societies they spread. Christianity (Catholicism and Orthodoxy) was successful in maintaining the structure of the Romans and made much progress to science, law, politics and even aesthetics. Sure, Protestantism came, but even them had good contributions to the west as a whole. Unfortunately, the blight of puritanism proposes to destroy everything that makes Christianity an intellectually civilized religion and is very prominent in parts of the anglosphere and some african countries. Pity. Was Catholic some years ago, but decided to regress to mere Theism, as I am not sympathetic to Christendom (although I find it preferable than complete secularization). But mad respect to them, despite being an Abrahamic religion.
