I realized recently that when I think about other religions (or more specifically, when I thought about other religions as someone who was deeply invested in Judaism), I didn't see them as variations on a theme (i.e. the theme that Judaism's a part of--religion). I saw them as entirely opposite, the flip side, archenemies. Such that if there were a similarity gradient it would have gone "Jewish, secular/irreligious, people who are into other religions to varying degrees," with more religious followers of other religions being farther away from me.
That's kind of sad.
And for our random moment of comic relief...

All of the religions are equidistant from the centre...except the radicals in any religion are on the outskirts and in sore danger of falling out of the circle altogether. :-)
