"What I know," the Buddha said, "is like the leaves on that
tree; what I teach is only a small part. But I offer it to
all with an open hand. What do I not teach? Whatever is
fascinating to discuss, divides people against each other,
but has no bearing on putting an end to sorrow. What do I
teach? Only what is necessary to take you to the other
shore."

Mother Teresa, `Mother Teresa, A Simple Path'
I have never found a problem with people from different
religions praying together. What I have found is that
people are just hungry for God, and be they Christian or
Muslim we invite them to pray with us. There is a large
percentage of Muslims in our mission houses in
Spain and France and they want to pray. So that is our main
focus, to encourage them to pray, to have a relationship
with God, however that may be, because when you have that
then everything else will follow.

Gandhi, `All Men Are Brothers'
After long study and experience, I have come to the
conclusion that (1) all religions are true; (2) all
religions have some error in them; (3) all religions are
almost as dear to me as my own Hinduism, in as much as all
human beings should be as dear to one as one's own
close relatives. My own veneration for other faiths is the
same as that for my own faith; therefore no thought of
conversion is possible.

I don't know whether you know this or not, but the number of atheists around the world is growing dramatically.
People are getting tired of religious dogma and intolerance.
That is why I hope in this coming time of stress and tribulation the world will turn it on a nod towards any one religion but towards what you gentle souls Are referring to
I personally gravitate towards Buddhism but have read most of the holy books of the great religions around the world and I agree with you. They're all aspects of the same thing.

Yes exactly you are correct..
In every where people are concentrating only on the skin (Religion) not on th efruit (spritulaity)
Behind every religion's dogma (Skin) there is a excellent fruit (Sprituality). And that fruit is common for all religion.
People are not ready to cross the skin to reach the fruit and people are fighting only through the skin color and appearance..
