are all religions the same

Are all religions the same? Are they all true? Do they all lead to heaven? Do they each worship the same God?

There seem to be many religions to choose from, like Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Catholic, and probably 100’s or even 1000’s of other religions, so how do we know which is true?

Let’s examine each religion a bit closer to see the similarities and the differences, because the differences are what will determine which is true and which false.

3 Types of Religion Worldviews:

  • Theism – God made all – Judaism, Christianity, Islam
  • Pantheism – God is all – Zen Buddhism, Hinduism, New Age
  • Atheism – no God at all – Religious, Humanism

Pantheism

  • There was NOT a beginning to the universe
