Religion becomes a unifying force when it focuses on the enlightening thoughts preached by these men; however, it tends to become disruptive when it depends on the limited knowledge of ordinary people to interpret them.

The chapters reveal the greatness of every religion, all of whom aspire to integrate purity, compassion, and peace in everyday life.
