Are there traits in other religions that you admire?

Meaning, are there traits in the belief systems and religions of others that aren't your own that you admire?

I may not agree with every single tenet of every religion out there, but I sure as heck admire at least one trait from nearly every religion, belief, and philosophy.

How about you? Even if you disagree with others, are there traits that you admire in other religions and/or belief systems?
I guess for me, its like this:

Christianity: I like the teachings Jesus put forth and how he showed others "the kingdom within"

Judiasm: Their devotion and respect for others' beliefs while maintaining their own covenant with God.

Wicca: The respect for nature and inclusion of the female divinity/Goddess.

Gnostics: The seeking of self and the secret knowledge lies within.

Hindu: The philosophy of how many gods/goddesses eminate from an original all-powerful, primordial source (Brahmin).

I could go on, but you see what I mean?
stephen- that's not true. I'm a New Age spiritualist and one of my best friends in high school was an atheist.

And believe me, there's many christians, muslims, and what else have you that are very, very intolerant to others who do not believe as they do. Ever hear of (most) evangelical, fundamentalist christians?

I like that religion from Jamaica that burns all the doobage. I think that's an excellent trait to have in a religion. I can't remember the name of the religion but maybe that's because I spend so much time admiring the doobage trait and my short-term memory is shot.

And I like the one about the Latter Day Saints letting their women have all the husbands, that's a good one. You just can't get too much strange d**k in this lifetime, know what I mean?

Meh-heh-heh.
