What does your religion say about existing with other religions? (lemmy.world)

I only have a familiarity with Christianity and the "no other gods before me" thing. I am curious what other religions have to say about it.

Personally, as an agnostic (leaning atheist) I don't have any particular dogma regarding other religions to follow. I will however share how I view religions.

I've yet to encounter a religion that is verifiably true. As such I consider the religions of other people to essentially be opinions (personal beliefs).
Opinions should not be held sacred in society, nor should they grant special rights.
The religions of others only really become a problem if they make demands based on said religious belief, attempt to impose their beliefs on others, or spread verifiably false information.
