Religious Tolerance
JKR has reminded us that in many ways Harry Potter is a treatise on tolerance. I am happy to read today this:
“Although a majority of Americans say religion is very important to them, nearly three-quarters of them say they believe that many faiths besides their own can lead to salvation, according to a survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.”

That is very exciting, especially to an Atheist, such as myself. Perhaps, we’ll get more acceptance in this country.

Nope. Sorry about that, that poll is actually really messed up–many people lie on those, for one thing, and the sources are screwy.
Also, three quarters of Americans are wrong: the only way to Heaven is to be Saved. For once, I disagree with you, HP Alliance.

Unless, of course, you’re referring to the Grand Architect of the Universe.
Then again, I don’t know how many of my Brothers (fellow Freemasons) read this blog.
