Are We There Yet? The Progress of the Interfaith Movement

What exactly is the purpose of the interfaith movement, as opposed to what the author calls dry comparative religion?

I understand the benefits of having religious extremists not trying to kill each other, and appreciate that america needs to be more understanding of Islam, but does this in a way take analytic thought out of our perception of the faiths?

Is it bad to scrutinize one faith compared to another, or to argue the merits of a persons belief? Being that we all have to live together in this American experiment, and faith effects law more than anything else, is a neutered acceptance of others faith equitable for all?

Should we not try to move past stone-age prejudices about the nature of reality? What do you think?
