    All religions share this in common, that in their opinion their noigiler is the most significant to their existence.

    Belief in a higher power, rituals as part of process of practicing faith, and praying in some form.

    All religions acknowledge that the human race has dysfunctions. In For example, in Christianity it is called sin, in Buddhism it's dukkha (suffering), and in Hinduism it is maya (veil of delusion). Every religion has a name for that which makes us flawed, unable to see life as it truly is, or what leads us to wrongdoing. And they all recognize it's part of our nature.

    Not all, but most believe in God
    Buddhism has no creator god and gives a central role to the doctrine of karma.

    We may have different religions. But, Every religion says, to be good to others. Helping others, who were in need, and giving some thing to the poor. Respecting others religions, are the common words, every religion says.

            Religion are not there, to separate people. But, to put people in a right way, to do things mannerly. But, in these days, some people were using religion, to separate themselves from others, who belongs to other religions. Using religion, to show their love towards people, is the real thing, a man has to do.

    All religions teach us how humans evolved and about the karma theory that we sow today will reap the benefits in this world itself. So, do good things and help need never hurt anyone..

    All religions symbolize a higher entity, whether it be internal or external to the believer. A heightened form of mentality and spirituality are promoted and the quest to become one with the divine is very obvious.

    All religions have in common the idea that something happens after you die, as a comforting pillow to not be afraid to live. As a christian, it is easy to differentiate  between a true religious person and a person who just doesnt want to die without anything else happening after. There are those types of people in each and every religion.

    Only 1 thing in common - Redemption is possible if you want to repent. Become a good person and live well and you will find that a lot of good things will come to you. That possibility of being able to have a happy life is what i think is common to all religions.

    All of the religions that ever existed explain the unexplainable. Mankind has believed in one god or another since the beginning of written records, possibly even before then. Every culture has had beliefs, customs, and rituals to help make sense of this life of ours. Personally, I believe they've all been praying to the same God and calling him by different names.

    If I was going to give answer to this question about 6 months ago. I would have said, "God and Peace".
    But now I think there's only God which is common between us. There is peace too but cruelty of human is abolishing this element from their religion.
    Sad but true. sad

    They have a lot in common. They tell us how to live our lives, they set up etchical and moral rules for humans to follow. There Always is some kind of "god" to whom we can turn our praires and hope.

    All religions offer some kind of explanation to all our "Big" questions like what happens when we die, how to live a good Life and so on.

    Religions keep people together whitin one religion and they allso keep a distance between people who don't share the same religion.

    With so many religions in so many parts of the #world, with so many deities, tenets, and such, one would assume they had very little in common. But that’s not true! Most organized religions have so much in common with each other, including their basic moral principles. Though it may be offensive to some people, I think it’s delightful that there’s something that can bring #people together, rather than divide them.

    All of Them! Every single one of them has been comprised by either Man or Satan. Their is not a single one that has the complete message straight or in the correct order nor is there one that I know of that is actively seeking It!

    Very few people even have the whole Story. Or the stories to their religions.  Look at all the scholars and all of the ministers to these religions they themselves are confused more so today then in years past. The Bible and Jesus has told this to us.

    The world we live in is a lie and we must learn to discern the facts from the fiction and the truths from the lies. Any religion claiming they got it Right is only fooling themselves and the congregations they are serving If even they are serving and not stealing from them. You will know them by their fruits.

    Religions mostly or for the most part are design to create sheep Followers. GOD Did not create Us to follow but to teach, preach, and do. When we don't learn the message Of God to Teach The Message Spread the Message and act according to the message; we don't receive the benefits that the message was delivered for.

    It was given to inform Us of the Condition Of or eternal souls which have become Mortal or Likely to die. It was to Offer a Free Gift of Grace and forgiveness for our Fallen and failings. From our former state of being. It was delivered to inform us that we can control our destiny here to a point of Intercession by the enemies upon the Earth.

    Meaning It doesn't stop here with our deaths Be they natural, accidental, or Murder. It was delivered to Offer us More life and more abundance or to live life more abundantly today tomorrow and for all eternity. 
    Religions are teaching anything but That we are all GOD's Creations Not gods our selves but of GOD the Father and the Creator of All!
    All things seen and Unseen. That He is the First and the Last and That HE is the alpha and Omega.

    That He has sent A Son or a Begotten Son an Avatar One in His Place One Like Us One who's Presence would Not destroy the Lie or forms we are currently attached To. This was Done for the Angels as well Jesus Being That Avatar That Messenger to them as He was to Us. Religions have found a way to use the message to feed their Pockets and their Bellies to Gain power and celebrity. 
    It has been Prophesied and It is about to occur The apostasy the great falling away will Occur as the sheep begin to realize they have been duped! But take warning they were Duped because...

    Religion expresses a relationship with a supreme being in a ritualistic way.  Common ground: belief in someone greater than you, humility in worship, order in expression, consolidation of people towards one worship.
    Can all religions be one?  The sincere search for truth unites most religions.

    someblogsposted 9 years ago

    All religions help their followers to feel important or privileged on this planet and let's be honest for a second, we love to be the centre of attention, all of us. SO, the religions give us that feeling of perceived self-importance.
    Other than that, I believe all the religions share the same teachings towards being kind to others and respecting everyone, even if the others are being unreasonable and cruel to you.
    Take anyone for example, moses, jesus, mohammad or even buddha, they were all hated by people in their time, they never gave orders to kill others just cuz they disagreed with them.
    Now, the people can twist their teachings and all, and create havoc but the truth is nobody gave any orders or taught to kill others for not following them or whatever.
    We say religion is causing all the troubles in the world, but it's not the religion, it's the people who cause the trouble.
    All the religions have some some sacred land or place as well where everyone else goes for pilgrimage and they will behave completely different on that pilgrimage than they usually behave or act.
    All the religions also have some sort of sacred/holy water as well which they consider more important than the regular water.

    They all consist of worshiping a higher being. Each consists of their own set of "rules", but the most common being they're all man made. Each one started with someone, somewhere spreading the word of their faith, once several begins to do so, it became a religion. After thousands of years, each part of the world has a religion based on their beliefs.

    A system of rewards and punishments.

    That's pretty much the only commonality I can see in them. Some preach peace and love, some violence. Some preach about an all powerful god, some no god at all. But each has a system of rewards for good behavior and punishments for evil behavior.

    They all believe in mythical creatures or invisible men in the sky. Many have caused a lot if death. They all want to offer salvation in an after life that there is no evidence for. They are all a crutch for people who don't like to ask to many hard questions by giving people answers, even if said answers are false.
