>>. I wasn't talking about morals. I was talking about belief in one's own faith.<<

Then you obviously miss the point of my question..

While I agree with you that deeply held religious convictions are absolute within the minds of the adherents, I think to leave the argument there, without contrasting those who "use" their religious "faith" to promote death and destruction "in the name of" their religion to those who "use" their religious faith as a mechanism for personal "salvation" neglects a very salient differentiating point.

Thus NO moral equivalency. Only equivalency WRT the depth of "faith" in one's belief system. That is where the comparison ends.
