Religion is a bore; They all exist to make people subservient to the status quo and to keep women down. Various people have taken up the slogan of "Unity of world religions"--one such is Rev.Moon, who has planned to unite them on the basis of his being the Messiah and the King of Kings--Rev.Moon is frightened of the Vaishnavas, though--we have the number of all sorts of messiahs and incarnations of God--that and a dollar will almost get you a cup of coffee. If he is JC, he no longer cares for the poor and he has lost his ability to perform miracles.
Another was Satguru Sant Keshavadas, who tried to Hinduize them all--that did not work--please, Sant, no more Om Jehovah Om!
It is too much to bite off--I can reconcile these things in myself, but not change the thinking of billions of people--and as Srila Prabhupada said, "There isnt going to be any unity". Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, the leader of the Gaudiya Math, "declared totalitarian war on Maya and all other existing conceptions of religion"---now there is a bold approach!
Siddhanta Saraswati was a genius---if you ever run across anything written by him, buy it.

There is unity in multiplicity. For some reason, the weak feel that unity means uniformity.
