The deeper they see is what makes one holier than another. Worship is feeling the holiness of God.
Vivekananda, Complete Works ...2.7.3
In 1894 Vivekananda travelled around the US and Europe giving what he called "The Harmony of Religions" lectures. Though he had great national pride and preference for the Hindu teachings and the Indian way of life, he basically taught people that it doesn't matter how you get there ...as long as you get there. And...even back then...he was received well. Decades later, Yoganada followed in his footsteps and was received by the "spiritualistic" mindset of the US then, even better.
People, I believe ( and what do I know?) inherently know that religion is a just pointer and all pointers are basically pointing to the same thing whether they claim to be or not.
Anyway...I thought that was cool.
All is well in my world.
