Abstract
Are all religions the same?
Dr. Denise Carmody discusses the claim that all religions are the same. She would argue that they are in the sense that they are all confronting the same mystery. Dr. Carmody observes that God is not a multiple reality but that she is simply one; and all religions respond to that one single mystery in different cultural ways.
