Basically the ever-present thousands-year-old religions such as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism teach people to be kind, humble, pure, self restrained, versed in knowledge, and so people can achieve peace, hope, and love in their lives.
Interestingly, all of these religions believe in the same God (The Creator of Heaven and Earth); heaven and hell; angels and demons (although they may dress differently).
The only difference is probably in the way they worship God (The Creator of Heaven and Earth) - although they may call him different names according to their own languages.
It does not matter HOW to pray or to worship etc... what matters is that if *you* pray and worship. Isn't it?

Religion minus the tradition equals to spirituality. All of these religions teach the same stuff!! Peace, love, hope, do not murder, do not, steal, do not commit adultery, etc!!!
The people who made mistakes and abuse the religion.
PS. Consider this: Graduating from Harvard Business School MBA does not mean you will be smart = Look at President Bush. But the school DOES teach him how to be smart.
Similarly, having a religion does not mean that you will be a good person. But a religion DOES teach you to be good.
It all depends on the individual

The religions are probably O.K. Now you get to the humans who interpret and teach. Here is the problem. They change to fit the times. It gets so mixed up even they don't have a clue as to what the religion is all about. I think that is why some religions try to keep the teachers out of the real world. That corrupts the. Like at Jim Baker, Jerry Falwell, Oral Roberts, John Ankerberg, Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart on and on. See What I mean?

You cant really believe in all religions at once. Simply because some of them denounce opposing religious views, or at least proclaim their own prevalance over them. I also would be inclined to believed that if you truly believed in all religions, and were a practioner of all of them, you would spent every waking moment doing some form of worship, or meditation, to a different god (yea the basic definitions of God may be really similar, but their Gods 'say' different things, they are not all the same) which would be rediculous. If anyone says they believe in all religions, and they mean that they truly do have faith in them, they must be a schitzo or otherwise insane, because that would be pure idiocy.

I believe we all have the allowance to choose what we believe. I have trouble between believing I'm atheist or agnostic. Simply because I agree with certain things in almost every religion. But that does not make me a follower of each. It helps me rationalize my views on life and the world.

If a person's beliefs help him make it through each day, that is all that matters. Praying is totally irrelevant except to those who need it to help them make it through the day.
Humans invent Gods and praying to a rock will have the exact same effect as praying to anything else.
The problem arises when one group claims their rock belief is better than someone else's rock belief and proceeds to try to force their rock belief on others.
That tends to cause wars & violence.
People should just practice their rock belief in the privacy of their homes or churches and leave everyone else to enjoy their own rock belief.
Amen.

There is deception to think that all religions worship the same God. Knowing and worshiping the God of creation is a relationship...not a religion.

I don't. I don't know how someone would, but this is an interesting question. I heard that all of the religions clash and don't agree, but I may be wrong. I'm simply put a Christian.

tough I think you are right I will not said I believed in all religions, though basically I believe in the ones you have mention as well that i believe in the clear and concise argument you presented. though what about the so many Christian religions and those in the net and in T.V., that is what trouble me the most.
