But, and this is a big BUT. There are people who are not Jews,
Christians, Muslims et al. There is the whole Indian religious
tradition. Most notably Buddhism, but including many other religions.
There are many old tribal religions still practiced here and there.
There are new religions like Wicca and Scientology.

The question I would like to ask is: In what sense, if any, do the
people who follow these religions "worship the same god"?

And I would like to ask George W. Bush, but I do not expect a chance
to, whether people who "worship the same god" are somehow deserving of
better treatment than those to don't. Or perhaps worse? Or different?
