Does it make sense to see what every religion says which can be argued is the same thing. Allah - God or g-d; what is the real difference? Catholic scholars hold ecumenical councils that agree most of the religions are saying the same thing and the world would be better off promoting the similarities rather than fomenting war, racism and other alienating dogma. There are many forces at work trying to unite people and end the war on women and children. I expect it will not receive a great deal of support among the no-minds who beat each other up with quotes from books they do not know or even know who wrote those books.
Here is a library of good books from the likes of William Atkinson. I have frequently recommended the set of small blue books he wrote under the name Yogi Ramacharaka which was published by the Masonic Society of Chicago. The Upanishads is a title of one of those books.

But Christianity is different in one very important way. Jesus died as a sacrifice to atone for our failure to live up to these standards and he then rose from the grave as evidence that his sacrifice had been accepted by God. Every religion can show us how we should live but only one provides a way we can be forgiven for our failure to live the way we should.
They are alike in one way. They all teach basically the same standards of right and wrong. That is because God has revealed these standards to the whole world.Does it make sense to see what every religion says which can be argued is the same thing.

His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.

Not Christianity - that is Romanism or Popery. Christianity did not teach the Salvation by money or special dispensations way to get to some mythical Heaven. The Pope admitted they created in 1999 while apologizing for "two millennia of heinous acts".
But similar things to Heaven exist in other religions and at-one-ment is even more evident in some of them. Still if you are a sinner and wish to give a religion or your devil all that energy or money - it would not stand in the way of ecumenicism - you could still flagellate yourself.
