It sounds like such a "nice" idea.
BUT I have to warn you with the warning I've heard so many times: Be Careful What You Wish For because you just might get it.
I think that the Showdown at Mount Carmel comes the closest to what you are suggesting. You can read about Elijah's showdown with 450 prophets of Baal + 400 prophets of Asherah in 1 Kings 18.
The Bible shows us that no mix of religions is possible. However it also show us that All have sinned and fallen short of God's glory BUT while we were yet dead in our sins Christ died for the ungodly.

It is nice if we can do this but we can only do this in an ideal world, where everyone respects and loves everyone else. Sadly, the world is not like this and we are still full of prejudice about people who don't share the same religion or culture. We can help to achieve this by educating the younger generation to be more accepting to one another. Hope the future will be brighter for everyone in the world.

Well,
The Christians would bore everyone to death with their bible punching.
The Jews would try to monopolise the lucrative catering.
The Jehovah's witnesses would become confused thinking they are the only ones there.
The southern Baptists would make a good atmosphere with their beautiful singing but they would still sin and put the blame on the Devil.
And the Muslims would have petty childish little tantrums if they did not get their own way and then they would blow the place up.
I don't think it would work.

My grandparents were Catholic and Protestant. They were blessed with 10 children. They alternated the religions. First born Catholic, second born Protestant until they came to the end. A happy and harmonious family, As were the the in-laws. Religion is to me each to their own. No-one has the right to differentiate. My mother was Catholic and my Dad is Protestant. My sisters and I (3 in total) were christened within our Dad's faith. One sister married a Catholic and changed her faith to his. I changed my faith to Spiritualism. My late sister never practised her faith after the age of 16.
My parents never forced us to attend Sunday School but I attended most if not every week that was Church of Scotland. However I also attended the Catholic Church too though not as often as I did my own.
Born and raised in Inverness, The Highlands, Scotland.
Love and Light

It would be nice. But would never work with each group thinking the others where heathen's.
Strange as I thought religion was meant to work towards unity and peace, hold on I just fell off my chair laughing
Atheists Rule!!!!

Not really.
Hindus believe everything is god, including statues and idols which they worship.
Old testament bible says do not worship idols:
Ezekiel 20:39
As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
Most Christians believe in the trinity and worship Jesus but Quran tells them they are wrong:
O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, nor say of Allah aught but the truth. The Messiah Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), was (no more than) a Messenger of Allah and His Word, ("Be!" - and he was) which He bestowed on Maryam (Mary) and a spirit (Rooh) created by Him; so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not: "Three (trinity)!" Cease! (it is) better for you. For Allah is (the only) One Ilah (God), Glory be to Him (Far Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is AllSufficient as a Disposer of affairs.
( سÙرة اÙÙساء , An-Nisa, Chapter #4, Verse #171)
All religions are not the same.

Put people from various Christian denominations in a closed room and watch how bibles suddenly start flying around. And that's the same religion. Nope, won't happen, ever.

On the one hand, it's impossible. Can religions, such as Christianity, merge with others when they claim to be "The" way? On the other hand, it's already been done. Look at attempts such as Unitarianism or the beliefs in Hinduism.

Sadly it is not possible. The underlying problem, is that most religions think they are the only ones that are right and all else are wrong.
