    This is why the whole “you’ll go to hell if you don’t believe in us” thing never really sat well with me.

    What if I told you all these religions point to the same beings and same truths?

    Is it legal to not be a Muslim in Saudi Arabia? I thought it was a crime unless one had special dispensation (typically granted to foreign advisors and such).

      Yes, it is legal. There are many christians in Saudi Arabia, for example. What is usually illegal is public religious practices of religions other than Islam.

      You’re probably thinking of apostasy. You can be any religion, but if you’re Islamic and renounce it, capital offense.

    OP, can you clarify your title, it doesn’t make much sense. Jewish, Muslim, and Christianity are all Abrahamic Faith’s, with the same 1 God. They differ beyond that it terms of the messiah and prophets. Other faiths especially in that region have been (mostly) wiped out due to Christian or Muslim holy wars.
