It's called monotheism. While I don't subscribe to it myself, I see nothing as shocking as Selma sees in this point of view. Many global religious (and even non-religions) believe their theirs is the 'only true path'. Right from Christianity to Islam, to Marxism, those in denial about global warming, and even George W. Bush when it comes to his policies on Iraq and so many other positions that affect so many on this planet. I don't believe that religions which aren't monotheist or 'one-true-godish' in nature are any more liberal, modernistic or tolerant that those which do.
