Something my devout Buddhist uncle told me in our religious debates: "I'm not claiming Buddhism and meditation are the only way to enlightenment, just that they are one way." That's had a profound impact on my acceptance of people from different walks of life. I feel like one can find peace and enlightenment from a Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Islamic path, or as was the case with me, a psychedelic one. To me, there is no question of universally better. Perhaps one path is more suited to a particular individual, but that's up to him or her to discover.
