The distinguishing feature is a >belief in God (a higher being) and this is a belief common to all religions. Most of the problem stems from the fact that people seem to be unwilling or unable to learn that it is not true that belief in God - even very broadly defined, let alone the all too common notion of the Christian God by another name - is common to all religions?
