    I hope this is what religion is evolving into.

Nah.. I don't get this sense. Even from members of my own congregation... there's still way too much "they" and "them" discussion. The sooner we get to "us" the better. I sick of the rhetoric. I am so tired of the vitriol, inside of religion, outside of religion, between religions, meh.. I'm starting to sound like John Lennon. You said it:

    I am only antagonistic towards those that use faith to justify hate and reduce world knowledge.

right on.

In this sense religion is becoming its own worst enemy. It would be best served (and have the healthiest future) if it focused on incorporating all humans for its own intrinsic sake. Any in-group/out-group nonsense or insincere proselytizing will not due in the 21st century.

Religion has always been its own worst enemy. When did "moderates" stand up and condemn what their extremists are capable of under their religious myths?
