What are the Similarities Between Religions?

Religions

Hey Andy, What are the similarities between Christians/Islamists/Jews and the………Atheists?


Hey there. You know, it’s interesting. While there are a lot more differences between these faiths, there are actually many similarities between Christians, Muslims, Jews, and yeah, even atheists. These include the fact that:
  1. We all fully believe that what we believe is correct and the others are not.
  2. We’re all worshiping something or someone
    • Christians = Yahweh through Jesus/Yeshua
    • Muslims = Allah through Muhammad
    • Jews = G-d through the Law and traditions
    • Atheists = themselves (they live for themselves, do everything for themselves, everything they do is with themselves in mind)
  3. We all (except for the Jews) believe that we need to make the others believe what we do and to join our faith/religion
  4. We all have symbols for our faith/religion
  5. We can all be blamed for starting wars
  6. We can all be praised for the good things we do for others
  7. We can all be considered hypocrites
  8. We all admit that there are many different versions of people in our “systems” that believe differently from the rest of us, and vice-versa (liberals, denominations, conservatives, modernists, radicals, orthodox, etc.)
  9. We’re all human
  10. We all have a book or standards by which we live according to our faith/religion
  11. 3 of us claim Abraham in the history of our faith/religion
  12. We all have music that represents our faiths/religion
  13. We all gather on certain days with others of similar beliefs (Universalist Unitarians are an Atheistic gathering)
  14. We all have both good and bad representatives for our faiths/religions
  15. We all struggle with sin

I’m sure there are many more, so feel free to leave some of them in the comments below.
