The ways of the world are strange.
Many seek what you want, but barriers erected by us in matter of religion are unscaleable, and a common platform is difficult to find. No.I do not know of any such forum.
At Coimbatore, we have the ISHA Yoga Foundation, where the main pillar is inscribed with symbols of various religions, like Hindus,Jains,Christians,Muslims, Zorastrains, Buddhists,etc. The essence of this foundation is universal peace, where human
values are respected irrespective of the religion.
Let us accept the universal truth that there is only one GOD. Although different religions adopt various ways of interpreting their beliefs, the core remains the same such as teaching of Saints,calender, practices.Note how most of the festivals coincide around the same time & have similar rules of penance, practise,rituals,fasting, bramhacharya.Refer LENT of Christians, SHRAVANAMAS of Hindus,RAMZAN of Muslims,PANJUSHAN of Jains, etc.
P.S: I follow Jainism, and had come across a Christian Bishop who knew much more about my own religion than I possibly do.
We can only learn of different religions on the internet, but to find a common platform interact with others religions is impossible.

Try the Religion groups on Yahoo IM. You will hear more sheer hatred and prejudice there than anywhere else I can think of.

I am the editor of a quarterly zine called Trans Spirituality. That is just what we do, followers of diverse religions learning from one another's beliefs. However, we explore these beliefs in the context of our shared transgender experiences. We have Christians of various tripes, Wiccans (mostly solitaires), Buddhists, Satanists, etc., and even "transspirits" who regard the GLBTQA experience itself as a religious experience.
I hope you are able to find such a site. My long term goal is to create such a place in the real world. Because what you describe, learning from one another's religious experiences, is central to my spirituality. Thanks for expressing your yearning here, as it encourages those of us who do not live by religious barriers but whose spirituality tends to transcend any barrier to the greater community of life!
