Christianity is the way to God, so convert others - Jesus said he was the only way to God, converting non-Christian neighbour is most loving thing to do = only way to heaven, Jesus said Christians have to convert all the nations

All religions are equal and are different ways of finding God - don't regard Bible as word of God, believe God is like a force of gravity which can be discovered by humans in different ways, Jesus - 'many rooms in my Father's house'
