If you mean that "it is ok to believe whatever you want to believe as long as you are sincere", I must say, "that won't do".

Religious pluralism does nothing but dilute the biblical message from Christianity's God, that there is but one path to eternal redemption.

I will continue to treat those that disagree respectfully and hope for rational and intelligent dialogue, but I won't ransom away what I believe in favor of some sort of ecumenical détente.

Christ makes it very clear:

Luk 12:51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division.
(ESV tranlation)

To me, Christ's words disprove any theory that Jesus came to unite all humanity (godly and ungodly) into a single “universal brotherhood of man.” Rather, He divided them as they have never been divided before!

YES, Hinduism

The religion which absorbs all other narrow thinking world religions. Each and every prayer and ritual of hinduism is so universal.
It teaches God(Brahman) is present in all living and non living beings in the universe. Then how can a hindu belive that a christian or muslim or any other man of any other religion is different from him or lower than him?
Hinduism teaches ignorance is what the reason why we don't understand our true nature of fullness and thus leading to alll sufferings.
If you follow hindu vedantic teachings you can never see any reference to anyone other than hindu or non believeres. It says the truth is eternal and was existing as the universe exists and never this religion has a founder. It has no versions as in biblical religions. Truth shouldnt have no versions.
It never tell you to believe in a system blindly or to practice any FAITH, on the contrary it teaches and tell you to acquire knowledge to get rid of ignorance for the pursuit of spiritual wisdom. All its core text is in the form of Teacher - student discussions with complete freedom for the student to question anything.

If anyone want to read one book to know about what hindiusm is all about, the answer is Bhagavad Gita , containing the essense of vedanta which is very profound and brilliant.

Harrys, has all the disunity in his mind and has tried to push it into one of the religions and by black listing it as 'anti unity in man kind'. Sorry to say that there are no such religions. Different spiritual faiths emerged during different periods of past and took roots among its followers. Basically all religions speak on 'love and compassion to others' None is greater or smaller. Let the universe remain together like sands of an ocean.

Though not strictly religions, there are the metaphysical teachings: The Science of Mind (Religious Science); Unity School of Christianity; Divine Science...they are inclusive, sometimes to a fault.

Paganism had united all in past but the Semitic groups separated and ever since they have been fighting among each other. Hinduism has produced Buddhism but still there is no dispute between them. So, the answer could be Hinduism to unite the whole mankind.

It is Hinduism that people call its followers pagans, and Muslims call them Kafirs. But this is the only religion which has a rich philosophical base that is found scientifically sound and profound. In every hymn of Hinduism one comes across the reference to the mankind as a whole and its prayers are intended for the welfare of the whole mankind and path of Truth for the whole mankind. This is the very reason that it is the most tolerant of all faiths in the world till to-day.

Humanity.

Humanity needs to be understood and lived by every human-being to get rooted in himself.

It is the need for every religion also. Every religion needs to be rooted in humanity.

Humanity genuinely realizes unity in mankind.

The basis of humanity is understanding of existence expressed as coexistence.
