Original: Why do most if not all divine religions ( Not counting buddhism ) have the same major points. God creator even if he isn
An online discussion is asking why most major religions, excluding Buddhism, converge on the same central ideas: a creator god, a great flood, an underworld, and the concept of souls. Commenters are debating whether the shared points point to common historical origins, cultural diffusion of ancient stories, or universal human experiences shaping belief.
