Why do all religions have similarities?

The world's religions are similar in many ways; scholar Stephen Prothero refers to these similarities as “family resemblances.” All religions include rituals, scriptures, and sacred days and gathering places. Each religion gives its followers instructions for how human beings should act toward one another.

Why have the cultural traditions such as religions generally outlasted the political systems in which they were born?

Human cultural traditions, such as religions, have outlasted political systems in which they were born because the ideas behind them are pure and have a peaceful approach to the way of life, while political systems are corrupt and built on prejudices.

What do different religions have in common?

Religions usually have rituals, or special patterns of actions, that followers perform. They often have prayers that followers say and holidays on certain days of the year. Many religions have written works that are considered holy, such as the Bible or the Koran.

The thing is that all major religions have the Golden Rule in Common. 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. ' Not always the same words but the same meaning.”
