Sad that the worlds religions nearly want to kill each other.
I think we all believe in something higher, isn´t that the point all religions believe in, that there is something holding their hands upon us?
Well, not exactly, no.
There are some religions for which powers are not so much 'higher' as 'other' -some good, some bad, many of very small powers compared to humans, of all kinds of descriptions.
Or which ascribe all extraordinary forces to ancestral spirits, and the religious practices are half dealing with those who have passed on and half preparing yourself to become the power you will become after you have passed on...
There's a huge variety. Certainly the monotheistic ones all have that in common, however, and many of the polytheistic ones do as well.
Theistic religions in general usually do.
But not all religions have a concept of 'god' or 'gods' in the same fashion.
