Lately in my life learning new things i came to realization that we all, not mattering into which religion we belong Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Satanists, tree huger s believe in same one higher power out there. Just we make different rules how to believe it. Most important seems to be that if you truly believe it helps you. So what are different thoughts?

Yes its all the Same Supreme Power Almighty which all the religions refer to.. But some religions have restricted the abilities/powers/capabilities of that Supreme Soul/Energy/Almighty. Few Examples: 1) God has only one Son(Christianity). God Does not have Children (Islam).. But God can have any number of children.. I dont know why they did Family Planning to God.. 2) God did humans in his image (Christianity).. This implies that the Main for of God is similar to humans. But what I believe is that God has no definitive form or structure. God can assume or come in any form. 3) God stays in Heaven with Angles (Christianity). (Location of God is Not clear in Islam also, someone please mention the quotes from Quran about the location of God). But what I believe is God is Present in everything.. And Everything is present in God.. 4) God has come in the form of Jesus only (Christianity).. God does not come in any form (Islam).. But God being So powerful and capable of doing anything can come in any form either human or animal or a thing.. Its left to God.. There are many more... Thank God that I'm not of the religions which puts restrictions for the God.. I dont know why some religions put restrictions on the Almighty ? ? ?

Buddhists do not concern them selves with a higher power. This is one of the main differences between Buddhism and the laundry list of other religions. Buddhism is all about living this life well and adhering to the principle of do no harm.

*Raises hand* I don't believe in a higher power. Everything in this universe is made of one thing, and one thing only, and there is nothing more than that (in my opinion).

This is true. No matter what you call the Creator, there is only one and most folks only believe in one. There are some groups however that believe that there are more powers at work in the Universe than just one, but this is a small group of people. This one Power has many names, but He is the same Power. Shalom~Adoniah

Our belief is what works for us, as far as it is addressed to a higher force. That comprises of life as a whole. Yo are right religion is just a means to an end. As far as it is geared towards a supreme force from within us or from the outside.
