But what about the individuals within the belief systems? Isn't there incredible diversity even within a belief? Like a spectrum?

What do you feel falls on either side?

Re: Compare Religions/Spiritualities/Ways-of-Life...
fear is outward action based
trying to please or appease "god"
love is inner motivated
and only acts what it already knows inside
