In the truest sense of the word, going to the root.  And true, in the most radical sense. At their roots, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are the same religion, as taught by different teachers at different times in the history of the world.  That their followers choose to focus on their differences rather than their fundamental unity is the fault of the followers not the teachers.

Now where are we going and what's with the handbasket?

Possibly more like two thirds. We tend only to recognize the ones with whom we disagree.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
