The headline is a trick question. There are no major religions founded in the Western Hemisphere. Jesus was born a Jew in Asia, remember.
As Gandhi said “I like your Christ but not your Christians. Your Christ was full of love. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ”
The Buddha who was on Earth during 2-3 Century AD (Note NO two major Gods/ Founders have been on earth on the same time) preached chanting to reinforce personal faith-
Buddham Sharanam Gashami, Dharamam Gashami, Samgham Dharaman Ghashami
That religion helped pacify a restless Emepror Ashok of India whose banner is still on the Flag of India. and Buddhism inspired
China all the way to Indonesia till Islam and Communism took their stance there.
6 Centuries After the Birth of Christ
Prophet Muhammad (Blessed be HIS name) won his victories in the Battlefield by motivating his soldiers (like the remarkable Battle of Badr), by personal example, by self sacrifice- AND also by forgiving his former enemies and by TACT
Saladin, A KURD himself and adopted son of NOOR-UD-DIN won Jerusalem by tact,cunning and by permitting his enemies time to bring out the worst behaviour in them so he could rally his half hearted allies together.
Jews and Arabs lived peacefully for the next 800 years- They were both sons of Abraham after all.
The Moral of the Story-
You should research your opponent ‘s religion before you criticize it. Maybe he and she and they AND YOU have much more things in common.
We are ALL saved by God’s Grace and HIS love. You can choose which name you want to call God- a loving God has given you these choices.
ps-
Incidentally Noah’s Ark in the Old Testament has a similarity in the Matsayapurana where Vishnu comes down on Earth as a whale and leads an ark onto safety. Funny isn’t it.
