Baha'i
In response to the question
"how do you view other faiths?"
My response is that I view the major world religions as having a common Divine origin...
Due to isolation of some and cultural issues as well as some varying rites or practices, many came to believe their religion was superior to others and that peoples of other religions should be shunned or separated from others due to laws of purity or defilement.
In this day however such attitudes of religious prejudice and pride have generated animosity and division:
We have erewhile declared -- and Our Word is the truth -- : "Consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship." Whatsoever hath led the children of men to shun one another, and hath caused dissensions and divisions amongst them, hath, through the revelation of these words, been nullified and abolished.
~ Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 94
