I agree, but I'm not sure

I agree, but I'm not sure that a religion has to be intolerant or orthodox in order to be a religion.

The majority of people in the world follow religions (Hinduism, traditional Chinese religion) that are more polymorphous and non-doctrinal. If the numbers of people historically following a religion count for anything, the intolerance and orthodoxy of Judeo-Christian-Islamic religion is the exception rather than the rule.
