Synopsis

The tensions we experience in the aftermath of 9/11 stem from a lack of basic knowledge. This was tragically evident September 15, 2001, when Balbir Singh Sodhi, a Sikh, was killed by a man so ignorant that he thought all Muslims were responsible for the 9/11 attacks and that anyone wearing a turban was Muslim. This survey of today's major religions explores our diversity in hopes of helping us find our way to greater unity, and provides the knowledge we need to live in harmony. Understanding other religions and their similarities to our own enhances our sense of belonging and expands our sense of global community, allowing us to join together to face our collective future. Religion may kindle conflict, but it can also help diminish our sense of difference, expand our view of life, and enrich our personal experience through touching the experience of the billions of people of different faiths with whom we share our planet.
