Yes indeed, you're right, it isn't just Christianity. Certainly, though I call myself pagan, my religious beliefs are probably nothing like the beliefs of the person who sat next to me at the Beltane ritual I went to on Sunday...that might be a bad example, since my pagan group specifically welcomes all kinds of faiths and the pastor himself follows Judaism as well as some pagan traditions...

Faith is, for *everyone*, a personal journey of discovery, even if you're a member of an organized religion. The dissention is just more...noticeable in the organized religions, because they seem to try to put all their members into a box of certain beliefs.
