Most of the religious
traditions of the world have pretty much the same
goal... helping people to
get along better. It doesn't help when
religions bad-mouth each other.
Some eastern religions teach that divinity can be found within each of us. For example you are the Budda. So since we are all particles of God, we should strive to respect the divinity in others. Namaste.
For a western perspective, read The Perennial Philosophy by Aldous Huxley. And Alan Watts.
