Ask the Irish. They know.
Not sure what you mean.

Their books are the same except for 7, and those 7 don't really make that much of a difference to the average believer. I certainly wouldn't say they are contradictory in the way we're discussing.

They do not need to agree on much, just agree they pray to the same God
Easy for me, "Hindu God" is same as "Buddhist God", "Christian God", "Atheist God", "Bahai God", "Islam God", "Xy God"
I don't have issues what others believe, would be nice (simple) though, if the word "God" means "God"...he, that's funny, could it be any different?
You might like caodaism:
"Cao Đài is a syncretic, monotheistic religion officially established in the city of Tây Ninh, southern Vietnam in 1926. The religion combines Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism, Confucianism. There are many Holy people from other religions. The name for God in Cao Dai is Cao Đài Tiên Ông Đại Bồ Tát Ma-ha-tát (translation: Cao Đài the Ancient Sage and Great Bodhisattva Mahasattva). Caodaiist believe God chose this title because it represents the Three Teachings: Saint, Sage, and Buddha. Some people from history are also venerated. The pantheon of Holy people includes: Buddha, Lao Tsu, Confucius, Guan Yin, Jesus, Sun Yat-sen, Victor Hugo, and many more."
The Christians will need to start by abandoning the Trinity concept.
You'd think that would be easy, since they already admit it's a nonsense (their technical term for a nonsense is 'a mystery in the strict sense'), but I have my doubts.
Put another way, the Abrahamic Faiths (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) believe in the same God. Their core religious texts derive their inspiration from the same source, God. The only religion I can see that explicitly believes this is the Baha'i Faith. As you have noticed from this thread, there is opposition to these ideas from across the spectrum of ideologies and religious beliefs, not least from Jews, Christians and Muslims.

That conflict was based on a lot more than just religion and it goes back centuries.
Won't be my religion.

Are Justice, mercy, love, compassion the copy-right property of any religion (pointed out by Rival too)? They existed before any of the religions came up. IMHO, They are necessary social laws themselves.
Later religions accept the earlier prophets for their own benefit, IMHO. That is where they want to entice converts from, and not because of any altruistic reason. Even Mohammad started Qibla in the direction of Yerushaláyim.

You do not accept what others believe, others do not believe what you believe. Which also mean peace and brotherhood is far away. It is an illusion. IMHO, just like others, you are promoting your own creed, and not peace and brotherhood.

We each believe as we believe. I accept your belief as a Hindu-atheist. You should accept my right to be a Baha'i. I have no issue with Kemeticism, Hindu or atheism.You do not accept what others believe, others do not believe what you believe. Which also mean peace and brotherhood is far away. It is an illusion. IMHO, just like others, you are promoting your own creed, and not peace and brotherhood.

Well, I believe that, of course.

They agree on a lot actually. Of course there are differences. One thing they do have in common is that they believe in the Tanakh, and the New Testament. You can't lump in Protestants all together, there are different denominations, and in each denomination each person has their own take, at least a little bit. The same is true of the Catholics. Myself, I think it would be good if each Christian interpreted the Bible for themselves, without any interference from their leaders.

It's true of the Muslims, too.

Yes, there is a different focus in each religion. It was disigned that way by God, to fit each age, in my opinion.

Here what Wkipedia says about them:
Ahmadiyya - Wikipedia
Ahmadi thought emphasizes the belief that Islam is the final dispensation for humanity as revealed to Muhammad and the necessity of restoring it to its true intent and pristine form, which had been lost through the centuries.[7] Its adherents consider Ahmad to have appeared as the Mahdi—bearing the qualities of Jesus in accordance with their reading of scriptural prophecies—to revitalize Islam and set in motion its moral system that would bring about lasting peace.[16] They believe that upon divine guidance he purged Islam of foreign accretions in belief and practice by championing what is, in their view, Islam's original precepts as practised by Muhammad and the early Muslim community.[17][18] Ahmadis thus view themselves as leading the propagation and renaissance of Islam.[19]
They consider themselves Muslims.
