Not to disparage or promote anyone's belief system, but I find it rather significant that three of the world's major religions - Christianity, Bhuddism, and Islam - all share very similar core concepts regarding Mankind's actions towards one another, the existence of a Creator, and the central role of Love. Not physical love, but a spiritual love that extends beyond our sense of self.

Yet some people in the faiths are so caught up in proving which faith is "right" that the common beliefs are cast aside or almost jealously guarded and the differences are focused on! Again the self over the whole. Individuality is celebrated! *I* did this and *I* believe that and this is *me* that you are talking to! Instead of maybe *we* contributed to the well being of *our* world.
