Great idea! Here, I'll start:
People need to understand that there is a difference between empathy and sympathy, and the former does not imply the latter. Empathy simply means understanding where a person is coming from (i.e. their motives), it does not require that you agree with them.
If only more people understood this, the world would already look so much nicer.
I'm not sure it would look nicer, but at least it'd be more honest.
It would be nicer. Religious people would understand that another religion can exist and that not everyone needs to agree with your religion or be dead.
