Yeah I know, neither do I, but they must have been based on that, some day, long ago.. Don't know if you read the Bible, but Jesus keeps talking about love, and love includes respect and tolerance, right? So it's based on that..
It's just that people turned religion into something they can use for whatever they want.. They want power? They use religion to have power. They want people to listen to them? They use religion to scare people, cuz fear is a very powerful weapon.
People aren't perfect, and that way, they turn religion and other things, in *weapons* that they can use to get whatever it is they want..
