I am understanding what you're saying, and I am telling that you're wrong. You're understanding on what religion stands for is coming a very Christianized perspective of what religion is and isn't and taking that approach towards Judaism is extremely harmful. Someone believing in Buddhism does not mean they explicitly think all religions are incorrect, that's probably the worst example as Buddhists are explicitly religiously pluralistic. Jews do not see Judaism as being above all religions and that all others are wrong, it's more nuanced. Judaism is perfectly fine with other religions for the most part in the modern day. Religious pluralism is kind of the general consensus amongst Jews. Philosophically in Judaism its easier for non-Jews to be righteous and enter the afterlife over Jews themselves.
Not believing in other religions does not mean that you believe all others are inherently incorrect. That is a very Christian thing.
I think you reflect the opinions of American Reform Jews.
Orthodox jews are absolutely dogmatic and judgmental, look at Israel.
That’s a very wide generalization, Jews are far less dogmatic as a standard
This is false. Not believing something does mean someone thinks it has inherently failed its burden of proof.
You should say: not believing doesn't mean that they are incapable of considering it's validity.
Also, it's not christian... but now we are splitting hairs.
Some people jusr don't realize just how engrained Christianity is in our society.
Yeah, I know… Christian atheists stop perpetuating Christian antisemitism and culturally erasure challenge
