They were considered to be variants of the same religion. Deviating, yes, but they weren't considered "non-believers". Differences weren't treated as something binary.

But they were treated as binary. Otherwise, there wouldn't be the concept of Dhimmis. Variants of the same religion =/= Religions are the same.

Edit: Come to think of it, "variants of the same religion" is a rather oxymoronic phrase.

Hey, I didn't write the holy scriptures. The current way of looking at religions as clear cut things is quite modern.
