A violence can be controlled only by satvic approach. If we too attack them, they will never realize their faults.
So, hereafter stop speaking about religions. If you like to worship Krishna, worship Him. Why do you expect a certificate from others for Krishna?
Even within every religion, such differences exist. I have already said that a Vishnu devotee in my area would close all the windows and doors of his house and close all his ears whenever any procession goes in the street taking the idols of Lord Siva and singing the glories of Lord Siva. Because, he did not like to hear the glories of Lord Siva as he is a devotee of Vishnu.
How can a Vaishnava hate the Lord Siva this much? Is he greater than Lord Siva? Even Sri Caitanya Maha Prabhu, Srila Bakthi Siddhantha Sarasvati (Guru of Srila prabhupada), etc, went to the temples of Lord Siva and worshiped Him.

During Mahabharatha period, even Pandavas worshiped Lord Siva. Did Krishna refuse to associate with the Pandavas and Gopis because they worshiped Lord Siva, Katyayini, etc.

I know some devotees feel offensive if we speak of Lord Siva, Jesus Christ, etc. I like to humbly state, I want to associate only with the people who do not hate anyone, including other gods.
Respecting other religions and other gods does not mean that we are fallen or contaminated devotees of Krishna. In fact, we only are the real devotees of the Lord.
This offense is seen everywhere among the devotee circles. So, I beg all of you to come out of this myth. It is true that Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead and He is the topmost authority. This does not mean others are not respectable.
Let us now see whether Changing God & Religion relieve us from Problems.
(Why the scriptures claim many Supreme Gods that confuses my devotion to Krishna? READ HERE!)
If you change the god & religion, will all your problems vanish?
Should you change your god & religion expecting material relief?
Can we stop future problems in our life by Changing God & Religion?
Why do you link the god & religion with your family problems?
If Changing God & Religion can relieve us from the Problems, does that mean that there are no problems at all for the people in that religion to which we go?
All the people in this world have the four standard problems or pains – Birth, diseases, old age & death.
All the people are prone to the diseases, issues, cheatings, blessings – everything.
It may differ from person to person. That’s all.
If you like to understand the reality of this material life, visit the common ward of a big government hospital in your district headquarters.
You can see hundreds of patients of all religions suffering with the pain due to many types of diseases.
So, hereafter, do not speak about changing the god & religion hereafter. If you understand the issues involved in changing the god & religion, you will get confused and your blood will start to boil. We want peace.
Religion is just a way of life and every religion has a syllabus to follow to lead a regulated life. Some religions will be liberal in their regulations and some other religions will be very strict in regulations.
Just take religion as a way of life, not your identity. These identities are the cause for all the issues the world is facing in recent days and actually we take birth without any identities. The child starts to follow what his parents followed or it is forced upon them. Some people very forcibly insist their religion on the children. They take away the liberty of children to choose their way of life.
So, Changing the god & religion is not necessary at all. Be a good human being first who understand the problems of others and help them.
So, continue chanting. Respect all gods while considering Krishna as the Supreme Lord. You need not change your religion. Everything happens according to your karma. Not because of religion.
(How can a devotee love everyone including sinners? READ HERE!)
So, sincerely pray to Krishna to give you ability to bear the pains of your karmic reactions and pray to Him to relieve you from the pains earlier.
Do not change your god or religion for clearing your personal problems. Because problems are there in the families of all religions. No religion’s follower is immune to the problems.
Be as you are! We do not need any aggressive identities that increase violence. In fact, athma has no identity on its own except as the part and parcel and the servant of the Lord. It is independent and blissful. Do not contain this athma within any religion, path, caste, etc.
There is only one place where there are no problems. It is the Spiritual Vaikunta Planets and the topmost Goloka.
Practice to go there after this birth. This is the real sadhana (Practice) one should do. Not changing the gods & religions.
Changing god & religion to come out of all problems is an endless process. We will have to keep on changing our religion till we die.
Be wise in life.
