One way to look at all religions would be to say that each one is a dream version of reality. From this point of view no religion would either be right or wrong, valid or invalid but only a shared dream of a group of people on earth.
It reminds me a lot, for example, of two men in love with the same woman. The woman might be in love with both men or one of them or neither of them. However, if these men decided that their dream of love with that woman was necessary to be lived to stay alive then both men as well as the woman might die even if she wasn't interested in either of them. I see war caused by religion a lot like this. People dying because of conflicting versions of their dreams.
Being able to step back from ones religion or even from all religions for a moment might bring sanity for our world and prevent the mass extinction eventually of humankind because of conflicting dreams(religions).
