Abstract
Generally speaking, all religions promise to save
only their own adherents. Christ is supposed to save
those who believe in Him as the second person of the
Trinity, whose blood will save them from the wrath of
God the Father. Similarly Mohammed promises to save
only those who believe in Allah (One God) and him as
the last prophet. The approach of all religions is, in a
manner of speaking, quite insular. No revealed religion
promises to save all mankind.
The positive point in all revealed religions is that
they enjoin peace and preach non-violence. It is their
votaries who violate the injunctions of their religions
and bring disaster upon mankind. If the believers could
practice their several religions in their pristine spirit,
there would be no need to spell out the basic human
rights or to enforce them through declaration.
