If you believe that the Catholic god and the Buddhist god (for example) are the same just worshiped differently, different paths but same destination, same god, what is that called?

We all have the same god creator, whether we be muslim, jewish, christian or whatever other religion!
Allah, God, it's all the same!
We are all humans, one race, but we let our differences split us up rather than celebrate them.

I agree the similarities are close and you are right in saying the reason we have so many different religions and beliefs are because of the difference in beliefs and cultures.
Those who are of the jewish faith know the same God as Catholics and Protestants and United and Pentacostal even the Worldwide Church of God all believe in God, they reject Jesus as the promised Messiah, in the scriptures...close to what the Muslims believe right that Jesus was a prophet like Muhamad. I don't know all the denominations there are out there because there are many.
with such a diversity of thought and beliefs one has to sit back and come to their own conclusions on their belief, when I read the Bible now I find new things because I realize and learned more abut how it came to be put together among all of the scriptures that there are, so taking the Bible literally no longer makes sense to me, since man chose what to include, this leaves room for error in interpretation according to the last book we finished. the next is probably not chronologically correct, this only applies to the Old Testament because the New Testament is a documentation of Jesus' life work as our Teacher, and how after he left His disciples carried on His work of spreading the good news of God's Kingdom and how Jesus was the Messiah all along and how they crucified Him even though He was found to be without fault, they still crucified Him. They grew in numbers and letters were sent to the different disciples and followers who were strong in the Faith and to encourage them not to seperate and have dissention among their teachings and so on.
I look more for the messageand also for direction but yes I believe that putting all disagreements aside its fair to say that most of the religions believe in the same deity. A Creator that was and always will be, many can't accept that concept but if you can think it they say you can do it, therfore like He said I Am who I Am.

Yes, I believe though we call it by different names, we are talking about and often fighting about the same thing. God, All that Is, Godess... Innerself is the touch of any of those. One person's angel is another's spirit guide. What ever it is that we call thething that guides us to good is "the one". It is all in the interpretation. Even an unloving "one" can be seen as the force that drives some. We are like the blind men each touching another part of the elephant. The one at the trunk as a whole different thought than the one at it's side. Each is describing the creature as they "see" it. None of us has the whole view and many will argue that they are the ones who see "better".

I don't believe this at all. The God or gods in other religions are not at all alike. And religions are so different from each other. I'm not saying diversity in beliefs is a bad thing, but clearly these views of God or gods are not the same.

Universalism.

Universalism is the Christian doctrine of salvation for all people, which is kind of close to what you are looking for. I don't know the exact world for what you are looking for, but Hinduism believes that all Gods are just different manifestations of the same God. I believe that they are the only religion that does this.

False religion.
Jesus Christ said, "I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father, except by Me." There is only One True God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob whose Son is Jesus Christ.
Siddhartha Gautama who was born into a Hindu family achieved "Enlightenment" and became the Buddha or "Enlightened one." If someone is suffering that is his karma. You never see Buddhist taking care of other Buddhists. You always see Christians taking care of Buddhists. In Buddhism they are taught to be an island unto yourself. For Christians Buddhist are of ultimate value because they are created in the image of God. So valuable that Jesus Christ died for each and every one of them.
Man cannot save himself no matter how many "Noble Truths" he dreams up and no matter how at peace he lives. There is only one truth that will truly set people free. And that is Jesus Christ.

Reality.
If any god exists it is the same god worshiped by all. Having a different god for every religion is even more absurd that the idea of gods at all.

Umm....I think its the Jamololic religion that believes all paths are equally valid - dont know if that equates to all gods being the same one though.
