hmyea, erasing culture is not what I opt for (dunno, never really have written the word 'opt' b4 but does it fit in this sentence, it just came up as I was thinking), but a sharing openess for different cultures idd.

And religion, maybe I should change it a bit to 'extreme religion', and that religion should update, for if we are given this tought god sure wants us to use it no? or anyways it should be religiously acceptable to adopt things and not take things to strict, like having to wear a towel on year head, although I'm not having anything against towels, it's their right of wanting to wear 'burkhas' although might it not be possible to change it a bit as a 'bling bling'-item rather then a commandment, like those Algerian warriors I do think they can look pretty cool with that, and it's utile for the windy sand. Anyways the reason I'm often more politically silent is cause I don't really care, whatever happens as long as people enjoy living (may include enjoying living sad, such as emo-cultures stereotype).

And I indeed wasn't looking at the spiritual higher part of 'religion' when writing that, I myself don't deny that there might be a god, but I don't consider believing, for if any god, whom says he even wants us to strongly devote him etc... "I can be my own god'-don't need something telling me things. I do think I aswell have my own strict kinda opinions (which I discovered for example when giving my younger cousin a speech on how he should behave...) and to get this inner peace/tranquility, or higher feeling I got 'Guitar, Music' I worship the gods whom made heavy metal thunder our skies...  A nice story.

Alright, I kind of agree on the issue of "extreme religion."  But I'm not entirely sure that doesn't put us on a slippery slope.

As for the spiritual issue, you may not consider believing to be a beneficial thing for you.  But there's billions of people who think it's comforting to know that there is some higher body watching over them.  You may choose not to embrace it.  Fine.  Cool.

I think the thing you're mainly concerned about seems to be an issue of tolerance, not necessarily culture or religion.

Culture is defined by anthropology as the learned behaviors acquired by the members of a social group. In the case of Diversity fanatics, they should stfu because there is no need to preserve a culture. Cultures are adaptions to the experiences of a population, and there is nothing wrong with further adaption if they are exposed to new experiences, such as technology or other people. You will find, for example, that groups in other countries don't necessarily adopt another culture when they are exposed to it like Western media or music, but rather they adapt their own versions of it.

Culture largely shapes how we see the world and interact with one another in it. The same behavior is interpretted very differently in different cultures. There are high and low context cultures. There are high and low power-distance cultures (hierarchical/egalitarian). There are individualistic and collectiveist cultures. There are cultures in which position is determined by ascription and others in which positions is determined by achievement. There are monochronic and polychronic cultures. There are different cultural filters which lead to differences in meaning in different cultures. Some cultures value something like blunt honesty more, others value saving face more.

Talk of "that's discriminating!" is cheap and ignorant. There are very real differences in values, meaning, and practice between cultures. We DON'T all act the same. We DON'T all communicate the same. We DON'T all interpret things the same. We DON'T work the same ways. To claim that we should all just ignore culture and embrace others is ignorant and silly. You cannot embrace your fellow man without understanding and respecting the differences in his cultures.
