Christianity and Islam are today the most numerous and fastest growing religions globally. Together they encompass more than half of humanity. Consequence: both are here to stay.

For me, Islam is a moral reference point, a source of inspiration to work collectively with people, to love people and to help them, to concentrate on universal values of mercy, co-operation and tolerance.

It seems to me that Islam and Christianity and Judaism all have the same god, and he's telling them all different things.

So much of Islam is Judeo-Christianity. It's impossible to divorce them. Islam is 600 years after Christ. Thousands of years after Judaism. Christ, Moses, Abraham - they are all in the Koran.

Compassion is the key in Islam and Buddhism and Judaism and Christianity. They are profoundly similar.

The only difference is that religion is much better organised and has been around much longer, but it's the same story with different characters and different costumes.

Superficial similarities exist between Christianity and some ancient pagan religions. But careful study reveals that there are far more dissimilarities.

I think Christianity is the same as Buddhism and Hinduism - whenever a religion begins to say that these are the things you have to do to be loved by God, you have a religion.

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