depends on the people themselves.

The thing to remember is that there are so many more individually classifiable religions under the banner of Heathen & Pagan than any other, Christianity is a single religion with different sects, as are Islam and Judaism.
I think that the Pagans & Heathens will get together at sunset and have a big beach party, this will attract the hindus who love a good knees up. due to the large number of people, this will attract the Buddhist and the Krishna, who will provide the music.
Meanwhile, on the west beach of the island, the single Muslim, Jew and Christian will be slugging it out over who gets to live there, not realising that there are many other equally nice parts of the island they could live on.
The remaining persons will be attracted to the rocking party going on at the Heathen/Pagan beach.
The next morning, with most of the inhabitants trying to sleep off a hangover, but being disturbed by all the noise from the west beach, the three abrahamics will be put in a boat and set adrift so that eveyone else can get some rest.
Boy, I wish the world was like that sometimes.

That will all depend on their personal belief in their religions. There will be those of peace off to one side: the Hindu's, Pagans, Wiccans, witches. Then there will be the christians all huddled together argueing about there version of the bible being the right one. The Muslims and Jews will be praying and the rest will be scratching their head over the whole mess.
By the way the pagans will be hiding from the fundies and the missionaries.

The Buddhist will like and tolerate everyone. He will be at peace with his circumstances and make the most of it.
The Jew and Muslim will not interact well if at all.
The Muslim will try to find which way Mecca would face in order to pray in that direction.
The Christian will view this experience as test by God.
The Hindu will meditate for answers to this delimma
All other religions?

lemme be first
YES! got it.
Undoubtedly they will each reside in a corner of the island, build tiger traps, spike pits and armies of brainwashed ants to follow their cause. Then, declaring a short ceasefire with the other people of the island they will make obstacle courses, twig jousting ranges and stables to train vicious rhinocerus Beatles to obey their antly mounts. Then they will march their armies into the center of the island and a huge war will erupt where thousands of ants will be killed. The christians will..rallying many to his cause using fear tactics, eventually almost overpower the other people's ant armies by taking up postions and trees and bombarding the battle with..um...FLAMING ROCKS OF DOOM! then rush their ant army into the center to take on the rest of the surviving armies. One of the flaming rocks will then strike some tar that is lightly spread over the battlefield and burn all the ants to death and the people will say 'holy s***... that was stupid...let's just go eat coconuts and go surfing togther.'
Cheers. :P

Probably each will find their own section on the island to set aside for worshipping the particular God or gods of his/her religious faith, & then get back to all the rest & work out away to survive & get off the island.

There would only 1 person left, quite shortly after arrival. The last two would probably be a christian and a jew because they are so closely related in faith and would probably ally against any type of threat. But its 50/50 on which one of them would stab their ally in the back when they ran out of enemies.

I shudder to think of it!
Actually, it may depend on the caliber of the people who are put on the island more than on the faith, whether they can get along or not. If I were one of them, I would certainly do a lot of praying!

If they all have a fundamental understanding of their own religion and its belief systems (i.e. not simply blindly following propaganda of leaders), I am confident that they would have some interesting, insightful dialogue and even become friends. This is because religion and spirituality is universal. It is only the outward expression that is different. All truly spiritual people want for the happiness of others.

Well basicaly thats what we have here on the earth... They will either learn to get along or not and I guess if they dont they will all die if they do they could live forever. The choice is each persons to make and I guess thats part of the nature of the universe.

They will become crazy. Each one will try to convert the others and it would be a catastrophe. There would be wars, groups that hate others and groups that are hated by others. Most human minds are childlike, trying to see who wins. But if there is only one truth, how come everyone fights? Because they're all stupid.
