First I said the exactly same about my ancestors pre-christian beliefs.
Secondly what I reffered to is what I believe is the view that is thought in
christian missionary schools and in ordinary universities in for instance
Norway - I might off course be wrong.

Actually what you here states is one of the major difference between most of
the "World Religions" and for instance the old Greek, Roman or Germanic
pre-Christian beliefs: lack of tolerance towards other beliefs. But pleace
let me add that most of the world-religions has developed away from that
stadium a long time ago.
