I'm sorry I just don't think you can say anti religion this and anti religion that and then talk about the praises of a religion you like- just seems too mixed of a message to me and even seems very unbuddhistlike for that matter! (is that a word?)

"God is both one and many. Both in one instant. As anybody who knows anything about the Unknowable well knows "God" and "gods" are interchangeable. The exclusivistic patriarchal "Jehovah/Allah" freaks are not incorrect when they insist that there is one Supreme Being and that "he" is immutable and absolute. However, neither are the wide-eyed inclusive pagans and primitives wrong when they recognize gods of fire alongside gods of rivers; honor a moon goddess, a crocodile spirit, and deities who reside in, among countless other places, tree trunks:, rain clouds, peyote buttons, and neon lighting (especially the flashing whites and greens)"
