Change it to "MANY religions...". Because saying that NO religion teaches that is just plain false. The monotheistic religions directly teach that there are "others" that shoul be looked down upon, need to be "saved", or will suffer for eternity for not conforming to the one true religion.

The idea that religions are some kind of feel-good, let's just all get along kumbaya is just plain nonsense.
