Abstract

What do you say to the claim that all religions are the same?

Dr. Martin Jaffee discusses how the religions of the world are in fact, radically different. While he acknowledges their sameness within functional identities and rituals, the idea that all religions are the same because they encourage people to be “good” is inadequate. Each religion’s measurement of “good” follows radically different sets of rules.
