True, but only Judaism, Christianity and Islam have ever believed in killing or forcibly converting the non-believer. Every other religion I know of has been satisfied with looking down on non-believers.

How about the state religion of Rome, which recognized Caesar as a god? I seem to recall that certain Christians, otherwise known as 'Martyrs', used to get fed to cute little animals like lions because they wouldn't acknowledge that Caesar was a god.

The difference is that Rome never required anyone to renounce their own Gods or do more than make nominal obeisance to Caesar. It was a matter of political loyalty, not faith.
