| All religions have common points where their morals and ethics intersect, even while their theology may contradict. The famous saying of "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," proves this. Whether it is the Hillel, Hadith, or Bible, or even an ancient Yoruba saying, all religions have similar teachings in their main source of inspiration. All of there religions bind humans in a twofold way, both horizontally and vetically. It binds ourselves horizontally by forming a common bond between all humans, while onding vertically by creating a relationahip with a sense of some type of "sense of the sacred."
