ABSOLUTELY not. While I will not deny the good that organized religion does in our world, you can not deny the murder and hate that is carried out in the name of organized religion. We will only become better creatures once we have evolved beyond superficial religious beliefs.

If the religions are not anti social it would be a tremendous step forward if we tried to understand other religions and acknowledge the rights of other people to have other ideas and beliefs than we have.It is obvious that there must be a lot of give and take. For instance we cannot expect somebody who is a Jew to say that Jesus is the Son of God. But the Jew should be able to agree that Jesus is the SERVANT of God. Once that is settled a Christian should be able to let the Jew believe that the Messiah is still coming for the first time.Please do not read into this that it is the Jew who has to make the first concession. It is just an example.

i think you lack some wisdom in understanding what divinity and religion actaully are. NO insult intended...
false religion can have the appearance of divinity but it is corrupted therefore cannot be divine.
Pure religion is this where the widow and orphaned are taken care of.
However! FAITH is divine, if it is true and through humility will lead a person to divinity and such a person is a religion unto himself, even a light unto the world! to be seen and heard by the whole world. But generally all false religion will kill such witnesses and destroy their testimony into lies and half truths.
IF a person has true faith, no matter what religion he is in, such a person will have the spirit of God in him and will not lose their reward.
Unlike Cain who was rejected because he did not offer a good sacrifice seeking to fool God and Join with Satan. even in the book of revelation there is a church system that has the appearance of a lamb, but has horns of the devil instead.

that is a nice concept. the holy bible states that the devil comes but to steal kill and destroy. this began with the apple that eve was offered and ate.
it is my experience that the main feature of the different denominations of religion is segregation. in the long run, after having accomplished some good, eventually the different segments only serve as a glorified popularity contest.
as to the divinity....well for instance, Buddha was a humble man who set out to solve the complications in the lives of his societies' people. today he is a god and if he knew this he'd roll over in his grave.
there have been many such people and/or beings in history . they did probably qualify to sainthood but beyond that? if you read the holy bible, you'll find that God almighty has been challenged on many occasion without success.
i hope that your faith is not misguided and that your life is on the right path. the holy bible also speaks of false profits so beware.

The problems of the world will not be solved by saying that all religions are divine.
Jesus said, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one goes to the father except through me.

That would be like asking 4 people what 2 plus 2 is. One says 3. One says 2. One says 4. One says 50. And you say, "You're all right!"
Truth doesnt work that way. Everybody can't be right.

Nope. The devil is in the details. And you would still have to deal with the agnostics like me, who consider the whole business a bunch of bunk.

No, but respect of the beliefs and rights of others would certainly help

If all the violence, infiltrating, intimidations, threats, murders, lies, and 'mission' to conquer the world by bloodshed retreats.
