What is the point?  Is a religious service really a religious service
if you water it down to those beliefs that are in common to everyone?
Do you honestly think that the intersection of those sets is not null?
If you say it is not null, I venture
to say that what is left is not religion at all, but ethics.
How do you handle the problem of people who don't want to discuss
their religious ideas with you, and, in fact, may not want to discuss
with you the fact that they don't feel comfortable discussing it with you?
