Don't all roads lead to God?

The claim under examination: the major religions are equally valid paths to the same ultimate reality, despite contradicting each other.

Standard · preponderance of the evidence, not proof

◆ The case for

It is generous, and partly right. People in every tradition can be sincere, decent, and spiritually serious.
Birthplace shapes belief, so it seems unfair for eternity to ride on where you were born.
A reality bigger than any mind might well be described differently by different cultures.

◇ The case against

The religions really do contradict. One life or many; Jesus crucified or not. Both can't be literally true.
Who sees the whole elephant? To say every religion sees only part, the pluralist must claim to see the whole — a God's-eye view.
Pluralism is its own exclusive claim, quietly overruling every religion it says it includes. It owes evidence like everyone else.

The verdict

DisprovenUnlikelyPlausibleStrongly supportedEstablished

That people in many religions are sincere and decent is strongly supported. That all roads lead equally to the same reality is possible, but strained and not established.

If you read nothing else

Kindness and truth are not the same question.

Respecting people is one thing; agreeing that all their contradictory beliefs are equally true is another. Pluralism can only reconcile the religions by climbing above them all and telling each which of its own beliefs to stop taking seriously. That is a worldview of its own, and it still owes us its evidence.
