Remember when Microsoft had an on-line forum division?
I was a member of the "Interfaith" religious forum. We had Baha'is, Christians, Jewish, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Druids, Wiccans etc etc and just about all flavors of the various sects and sub groups of all of those as members from all over the world. And only rarely did the moderators have to intervene. It was almost all civil, polite etc.
People would offer prayers for other members with health problems, best wishes and prayers for marriages, births etc. etc.
One of the most active threads was actually a recipe/food exchange thing that got started when a Jewish member asked about Holy Day foods of the various groups. The exchange of recipes, comments on the various foods after trying them kept up for a couple of years until Microsoft ended those forums. We even had "contests" to post complete celebration menus and branched out into regional/ethnic foods, not just those connected to the faiths and holy days.
Members of groups that by tradition did not get along well even arranged visits and meetings when traveling to the area where other members lived.
That is the way things should be.
