That's what's known as a meme. It's a form of non biological evolution aka a cultural evolution. Most religions have evolved from one another. They have taken different aspects and turned them into something that makes sense to them. That has gone on for centuries.

No, I don't agree. Many religions have borrowed and played off each other, like Buddhism and Hinduism, but they don't claim the older one is false. Modern day paganism is based on older religions and we pagans don't claim those older ones are false. There are many religions, keep this in mind.

Religions will always differ, but the basics will remain the same for all time: Jesus was born, persecuted, crucified, and arose on the third day for ALL sinners. Remember the Ten Commandments, and the one Jesus gave to us. The most important thing is your relationship with Jesus, and nobody can say anything about that but you. Only you and Jesus know. And only you will answer, for yourself only, when He returns to claim His own.

ALMOST all. But some religions like Buddhism Wicca or the Baha'i Faith do not claim that any religion is right or wrong. They believe that everyone has their own Path to God.

You mean like Noah's story really coming from Mesopotamia? Yeah and I think that is because God reveals himself to who He pleases not who we think it ought to have been. Like the Great Spirit is prob the same God of Abraham. Or that the Garden of Eden and Eve sinning first a way for men to overcome the female deities of that age? Yeah but Christ was the first to live among us and His example was supreme. Too bad many of His followers get side tracked with dogma. All they have to do is love one another and their neighbors as them selves. Approach people in meekness and humility. I mean it seems like all the people he was really hard on were the ones who were self righteous and greedy and leaders in the Jewish community.

I'd like to answer this with an analogy..
Religion - it's like a big sun shade that blocks out 99% of the suns natural light and is designed to cover a ground area that is slowly growing. The sun shade has to keep growing accordingly and occasionally it gets stretched thin in places and a shaft of brilliant light shines through, forcing the pale creatures below to scurry about in panic and put up temporary umbrella like structures until workers can repair the hole in the sun shade.

I wouldn't say ROOTS in, but for sure they have connections to.
For example many holy days fall on holy days of other religions, including pagan ones.

it somewhat is now not actual somewhat. i assume a lot religions cutting-edge some nicely. in the event that they're based on ethical precepts then they're waiting to be worthwhile. in basic terms on the grounds that i assume one faith to be greater acceptable than the others does now not recommend i assume the others to be nonsense. God Bless! +?+

Religion is man made.
God hates religion. He would rather prefer a relationship with us.
God bless you~
