Religion: A Path to Unity or Division

In my recent Visit to India I happened to meet some of my old friends & we had a very lengthy discussion on Religion,there were Muslims,Christians & Hindus among us ,in the end we derived a common phenomenon that every religion leads to One & only one God & there is no difference as far as divine faith is concerned, the only difference we have among us is of ideologies and our way of beliefs. All religions regardless of any following accepts that we are descendants of Adam & Eve, every Religion says that there is one supreme power who has no shape, voice or presence in mortal format and HE is omnipresent i.e GOD.We all believe that God has sent messengers in this world from time to time to guide his creatures , we call them as Prophets( Muslims & Christians) & Hindus called them as Devtas.We all have created the homes of God to worship HIM, be it Temple, Mosque, Church or Gurudwara, but all these homes are infact directing us towards one GOD, although here there is a slight difference, when a Muslim go to a mosque he prays to Allah and ask for his forgiveness and ask for favors by giving the wasila of Prophets & infallible, when a Christian goes to a church he does the same in the name of Jesus and Hindu does the same in the name of Ram or Krishna.
Everyone has got a medium to reach to one Supreme God .
Its not a fault of a person to born in a Hindu or a Christian Family because its God’s will that a person is born under some religious umbrella , then why we are bifurcating him in the name of religion, who are we to give him a religious identity, why dont we just consider him a normal human being like us.
Today if a Hindu help us in some way or other then we start praising him and when some other Hindu do something wrong we immediately start cursing his religion rather than saying bad to him. why such a discrimination & this holds good for all the religions.
There are many terrorists activities happening across the globe where members of one community are killing the members of same community, like in India you may find the frequent attacks by Ranbir sena and Marxists against each other in Bihar, Naxalites in Andhra, parts of UP , Ulfa in Assam……… and many more, also you may find Terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda , Sipah Sahaba,Tehreeke Jaafariya,Sadr Militia and all they all are killing Muslims while being Muslims themselves, here in these cases we divide ourselves on sectarian lines rather than religious lines, so you can make out that this division is not only between Hindus and Muslims it is even between among different sects of Hindus and different sects of Muslims. Witness yourselves that how much we are divided.
Its hard to find a Hindu in India who doesn't have at least one Muslim friend and a Muslim who doesn't have one Hindu friend , but when it comes down to support we always support on religious lines rather than supporting right and criticizing the wrong, here I am talking about a general mood which is prevalent in our society, also we even go deep by supporting on regional grounds as well.
Here at least on this blog I have noticed one thing that almost every member comes out openly against wrong and if one support the wrong then upon giving logics he start reasoning, so I can at least say that all is not lost yet and we are moving in right direction.
I wish and hope that we will grow more mature with time and follow only one religion and that is the religion of Humanity which is the first basis of every religion.
It easily reflects that God never wanted any discrimination among his followers, its we those who have created differences on religious lines.
I personally belief that every human being born on this earth has got an intelligentsia quotient, to derive what is wrong and what is right & everyone has got a right to follow what he is following , we should not hate or love a person because of his religious background, rather we should love a person because of he being one among us, a creation of GOD.
