My overall view is that the basis of most religions is in fact how to live a good life within a supporting community culture; which is a good thing. In fact, all of the major religions in the world have concept for concept the so called Judo-Christian "10" commandments once you take out who you are worshiping and on what day. The others are common rules to live by (you don't lie, steal, murder (which is different than killing in self defense or war), etc).
As such; I see room for all religions who promote such rules on how to live in society; and have solid acquaintances from many religions.
Now it does seem that every religion also have people who take lessor or other things to extremes; which I believe is unfortunate and has caused much strife in the world. I'm not a fan nor can I support extremist.
I do consider that each person has the right to live and die by their own religious beliefs as long as it does not impact others in the community.
Is my father religionist?

I view that atheism is in fact its own religion.
