It doesn't necessarily have to be the case that one religion is 100% true and all the others are 100% false it could be some people just happen to be a little closer to the idea than others. Fair enough that there tends to be a lot human cultural stuff and tradition in the mix, I don't think anyone would deny that. I don't think bit of culture is a bad thing even Dawkins would agree to not have churches bulldozed or all Christian traditions abolished.
Or, the truth is that people like their clubs and invent them to placate their own emotions.
I've gotten the argument "It's just God speaking in different languages". No. All human overlap of good behavior and bad behavior, cruelty and compassion, are all a result of our NATURAL existence, and are NOT the result of a club label.
