Yes:
The Baha'i Faith is the youngest of the world’s independent monotheistic religions. Founded in Iran in 1844, it now has more than 5 million adherents in 236 countries and territories. Baha'is come from nearly every national, ethnic and religious background, making the Baha'i Faith the second-most widespread religion in the world.
Baha'is view all the world's major religions as a part of a single, progressive process through which God reveals His will to humanity. The Founder of the Baha'i Faith, Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), is recognized as the most recent in a line of Divine Messengers that stretches back beyond recorded time and includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ and Muhammad. The central theme of Baha'u'llah's message is that humanity is one single race and that the day has come for humanity’s unification into one global society. While reaffirming the core ethical principles common to all religions, Baha'u'llah also revealed new laws and teachings to lay the foundations of a global civilization. “A new life,” Baha'u'llah declares, “is, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the earth.”
The worldwide Baha'i community, composed of people from virtually every racial, ethnic and religious background, is working to give practical expression to Baha'u'llah’s vision of world unity. We invite you to learn more about the Baha'i Faith and benefit from the spirtual and practical insights found in the Revelation of Baha'u'llah, God's message for humanity in this day.

Yes, I have. The Baha'i faith believes in one God (a unity, not trinity), and that Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Krishna, Buddha, and many other prophets are actually prophets of one religion.

Yes. I heard about it about 5-6 years ago. I think that it incorporates philosophies of several religions into one.

yes I have.
All though I do not know much about it the concept that everyone is right simply goes against my intellect because how can two completely contradictory philosophy's both be right.
