Religion Discussions

I was reading this article just now, and it was about Madeleine Albright saying how religion is necessary in political diplomacy. She basically said that to correctly conduct foreign policy, one must understand religion's role in the whole spectrum, and how it impacts the lives of people in society. If people were more educated about religion, there would be a whole lot less confusion, and things would be better than they are now.
I actually do agree with this. I believe that there is a lot of ignorance from all three sides of the Abrahamic religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. People from each side base others on limited knowledge and mainly stereotypes. This is why there is so much hatred and bloodshed.
Though Albright's message may be heeded by the diplomats, it cannot be applied to a majority of civilians. Most people do not have the resource to learn about other religions: whether the resource be time, money, etc. What I am saying is even though the policymakers would be fully understanding, most of the general public will not. And this will lead to more unrest and ultimately anger at higher officials.
If every religious person took time to learn about other religions (other than their own), there would be more understanding and less ignorance. But this goal is out of reach, it simply cannot be done. Expect these religious wars in the Middle East and beyond to continue for years and years.
