I observe that the conviction of truth is no different depending on whether one is a Buddhist, a Christian, or a Muslim.
All believe they are equally right.
Each one looks at the other with the same hope that one day they will be able to access the truth that is theirs.
Each will use their own set of representations, concepts, to consider the other’s position.
Either they will include them within their framework:
– The Holy Spirit breathes in a thousand ways into the human heart,
– Jesus is a Bodhisattva, a prophet
– Islam completes all previous revelations
Or they will exclude them
Depending on whether they have a more or less strong experience of identification with their religion.

I think you have just condemned the dread effect of organised religion.
