"
Religion binds man to God and man to man. "

All the principal religions are equal in the sense that they
are all true. They are supplying a felt want in the spiritual progress of humanity.

Gandhi
ji also says that Religions are not for separating men from one another, they
are meant to bind them. It is a misfortune that today they are so distorted that
they have become a potent cause of strife and mutual slaughter.
Ganghiji's
views on the fundamental unity and equality of religions, the brotherhood of man,
and the true nature, and purpose of religion He says all the great religions of
the world are true more or less. "More or less" because religion, as
conceived by man, can never be perfect even as man, being man, can never be perfect,
perfection being the exclusive attribute of the God alone. "If all faiths
outlined by man are imperfect, the question of comparative merit does not arise.
All faiths constitute a revelation of Truths, but all are imperfect and liable
to error." "We must, not," think that our religion alone represents
the whole Truth, and all the others are false.
