Are we so afraid of conflict that we've become unable to disagree? Religion Scholar Stephen Prothero thinks it's time we accept the fact that the world's eight largest religions are not all eight sides of the same coin. On the most basic questions, like "How many gods are there?", they can be completely contradictory. Can we learn to appreciate our differences while sticking to our own beliefs?
