To answer that question, we should talk about what all religions do NOT have in common.
Not all religions have the concept of "going to heaven".
Not all religions believe in divine gods or God.
Not all religions assume that human can be happy.
But all try to answer one basic question.
"What is the meaning of existence?"
Some religion say that there's no meaning in life, and the best way live it is to let go of all desires. But then to define and observe life that has no meaning in turn associates meaning in life. Some religion say upfront it is to please God and do his will (even if it harms others). Some religion stresses relationship with a personal God that has a plan for individual and also the humanity.
But all religions try to find the meaning of very human existence through some means.

The Golden Rule appears in the earliest recorded religions and then shows up in every religion that has appeared, in some form or another after that.

Most important thing is, we are all brothers and sisters, because we are all the sons and daughters of Adam and Eve.
All of us believe in an only Supreme being who created the universe and is controlling everythng great and small in this universe.
Hindus worship statues, but they believe that there is 'one' God who had distributed his qualities in gods.
Christians believe Jesus the son of God, so they believe that there is a God who is most Superior.
Muslims believe that there is only One God without any sons and daughters and any sort of compitition.

Arrogance. Every religion thinks that their way of believing in god is the right way and everyone else is wrong and are heathens.
God did not create Man, Man created god

The hope of God's approval and acceptance in the life beyond this one.
Also they believe in an after life which in most cases is superior to this existence.

Love thy neighbour. Every single religion tells you to love other human beings.

They all have a leader, a book and the "answer" to whatever question you have. Like Mao Zedong and his red book.
