There is no answer to your question because I need to know who is this same god The religions you mention are not ALL the religions in the world. You are missing at least a thousand of them. The ones on your hit list well three of them belong to the same tradition. The Hindus are a totally different story and for them the answer is NO.
As for this local group here the answer is again NO. It is also self evident. Islam, Christianity and Jews all share the Adam and Eve creation myth. So you would expect to find a convergence of thought. But alas ever since their inception they had to disagree Result Christians: Orthodox, Catholics, Protestants, an a vast string of others. Muslims: Sunni, Shiaa, Druze, and more...Jews the same and each has an exclusivity and will fight for its god given prerogative to be the sole interpreter of god's will. It is certain that the people who have god's ear do not agree among them as to who this "same god" is.

Jesus said (in John 14 :6-14) "I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me. If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him." He then went on to explain his divinity - something that no Jew, Muslim or Hindu would ever accept. Furthermore, I believe that those of the Muslim faith outright deny the divinity of Jesus - to them he was merely a man, a prophet and not as important as Mohamed.
As a Christian I have to say that not all religions lead to God (as in Almighty, Creator). There are, however, many gods and many lords. The fact that Jesus declared the only way to God was through him means that only Christians believe this (and Catholics are Christians). It's one of the reasons Christians are persecuted and, even to this day, killed for their beliefs in Muslim countries.

No they don't. But some who think God is God, might be surprised at how many different personalitys are put upon the word God. BTW are you calling Buddah God? or is the Dali Lama God? or is the Emperor of Japan God? What makes God God? is it the worshiping or the written word.. Confusious was very wise but was he a God.. and how many Gods are there anyway. Mythology had a God for everything it seems. Is that so wrong? Is Chapultepec not a God? I think we all hope that there is one all mighty, all knowing, all loving God, who will protect us from our enemys and bless us with the good things in life. I think many religions think Their God is the Main Man.. so be careful that you are not being led astray by a name. What is God to others, may be a war loving, narrow minded, idiot by your standards. Keep the Faith.

Well all Christians (Catholics are Christians too!) Jews and Muslims already believe in the same God anyway.
Hindusim is a far older, dharmic faith that puts more emphasis on how you live your life and your personal spirituality. There are some traditions that there is one god who manifests itself in different ways but it is generally thought of as polytheistic.
I guess it depends on whether you believe that there is only one God or not. I personally think that religion is humanity's way of grasping the Divine and that there are many different interpretations of divinity. I think as long as you live your life as best you can, you will be ok.
Still, would the god of Abraham have said "Thou shalt have no other god before me" if there was only he? Wouldn't the worship of any god be the same as worshipping him?
Glad I'm a pagan.

The Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Islam, Luciferian Satanism, all believe in the same God.
Many others belief in a higher being. Some see this as something nameless, the Primordial Mind if you like. God, Gods and Goddesses are the human representation of this entity.
IMO, yes, they all lead to the same supreme entity. They don't all believe this however.

All religions believe in a supreme being, but I don't think it is the same god, otherwise their beliefs could not be so divergent. Some people believe in a heaven paved with gold, others believe in getting virgins. I always wonder what will the virgins get.

The answer is yes. God gave his words to early prophets like Adam, Moses, Abraham etc and then Jesus came with what was then the New Covenant. The Christians believe all this but have failed to acknowledge that Gods word is progressive and has sent other prophets like Muhammed etc etc. If Christians accept Moses and Jesus they must accept their religion is part of the progressive revelation from God.

Read Richard Dawkin's "The God Delusion" and be comforted by the fact that you will be totally convinced that there is no such thing as a supreme being, in the accepted definition of God in today's language. Trust me.

Most religions are Dualist in nature, preoccupied with questions of good versus evil, pure versus impure, heaven versus hell and so on. God, if such a thing exists, is beyond duality. So one would have to say that most religions lead away from god.
