QUESTION
Do all religions point to the same God?
Whether all religions point to the same God depends entirely on the theological framework you use to analyze them. There is no universal consensus.
From a pluralist perspective, different religions are simply different cultural and historical paths leading to the same ultimate divine reality (often described as "many paths up the same mountain"). Conversely, from a particularist or exclusivist perspective, religions are fundamentally different systems that define the divine, the human condition, and salvation in ways that cannot logically be reconciled.
To understand this debate, it helps to look at the three main ways theologians and philosophers categorize religious differences: Monotheism (one personal God), Pantheism/Panentheism (the universe and the divine are one), and Non-theism (religions like Buddhism or Jainism that do not center on a creator God at all).
