I find all religions focus on a different aspect of God,
and define different laws and relations. But it depends on the individual person how much they believe that all such systems can harmonize or unite, or are meant to do so instead of remaining separate.
Examples of aspects of God:
Truth and love (Christianity)
Wisdom and Compassion (Buddhism)
Truth (atheists, agnostics, secular humanists)
Life or Creation (Pagan, some eastern beliefs)
Gandhi taught that all rivers lead to the same ocean.
The way I explain it is that God's universal truth by definition includes all events and knowledge collectively; and that religions are just relative "expressions" of that truth, like "languages" for the laws. Some are in terms of secular/natural laws, others are in terms of divine/religious laws; but both can be reconciled in harmony with God's truth. It is only our limited or faulty human perception that creates conflicts, and only when all tribes and nations embrace one another to collectively assemble all of God's truth will these be resolved in one accord.

I remember reading an interview of someone important in the Muslim world and he said that it doesn't really matter what religion we belong to.
He said that all of us are like people in a box and we poke little holes on the wall and let the light shine through. Although we believe in that light that comes through the hole we poke, we often forget that the light we get all come from one single source outside the box.

No...Only christianity gives thorough knowledge about who will achieve eternal life, who will suffer eternal death.
Other religion says that there is heaven and hell except Jehoah witnesses. But they don't clear the point who will go there.

they ask similar questions because their founders and followers were all human trying to explain human experiences. other than that there is not a lot of similarity. belief in life after death is common but there are a variety of conflicting specific beliefs (reincarnation, resurrection). belief in deities is common but again a variety of conflicting beliefs exist (pantheism, panentheism, deism). it seems to me there is no more agreement than would be expected from randomly guessing answers to the questions suggested by our common human nature.

No they don't. For example, there is no God in Buddhism, but there is in Islam.
