The essence of all religions is one. Only their approaches are different.

All... religions show the same disparity between belief and practice, and each is safe till it tries to exclude the rest.

All religions are, in some basic sense, irrational.

Religion and modernity are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

All religions develop, become exclusive, become divisive and quarrelsome.

There is only one religion, though there are a hundred versions of it.

Anyone with sincere religious beliefs cannot say that all religions are true. That is so illogical it is pathetic. All religion cannot be true because some of them are so diametrically opposed to each other.

I don't believe any religion should be exclusive or feel superior in any way, or be judgmental. It should be a quiet, private thing.

In principle the great religions of the world do not differ as much as they appear to.

Religions have a strong binding function and a cohesive element. They emphasize the primacy of the community as opposed to the individual, and they also help set one community apart from another that doesn't share their beliefs.
