Yes, there is absolutely room in Christianity for other beliefs. I am a Gnostic Christian. That basically means that while I am definitely a Christian, I am constantly searching for answers. I do not take any one persons word for it. Studying and researching other religions also leads you to the fact, that no matter how much any two religions can differ, there are still some undeniable basic principles that exist in all belief systems.

Is a God by a different name not still a God? Are we all worshiping the exact same entity, just calling him/her by a different name? I think to call yourself a true Christian you have to embrace the beliefs of others. Religions exist solely on the basis of faith and believing. You cannot prove that what someone else believes is wrong, therefore you must respect it.

In todays society, more than ever before, I would think we were more willing to accept these simple truths. As they say, you can't teach and old dog new tricks, some of the older folks may find it harder to change their ways. But I think the newer generations are much more open and willing to adopt aspects of other religions.

We also must remember, that there are several denominations within Christianity. I suppose that the willingness to accept aspects of other beliefs would differ greatly between them. But speaking as a Christian, I keep a very open mind and I am on the quest to spiritual enlightenment, for me that means atleast considering every idea I come across.
