Generally speaking, that there is an "Other," something beyond what our five senses tell us. This mitigates against a strict materialist view of the universe, which is the primary error of the West in the 21st century. This is the obvious and most basic starting point for the anything else, e.g. the Golden Rule, which I'll leave to better minds than my own to address.

I don't know enough about Buddhists or Hindus to comment, and barely anything about Muslims...

But I will say Muslims have some of the truth in that they worship one God, and though its debateable some would say they worship the same God... I won't get into that debate though....

Let me edit Groo's list a bit...

Muslims - Monotheism -> descendants of Abraham

Hindus - By the one(s) I know they don't eat meat, so I guess that could be tied into compassion for nature

Buddhists - Peace, and same as Hindus somewhat but stricter...

Other... - tacos, so very tasty and good for you,? How about pie? or papaya... mm papaya pie... (ps I've never had that before)

Muslims: Did an awesome job of taking over the holy land and denying Christ's divinity, and continue to kill converts

Hindus: Still killing converts, and deny objective truth

Budhists: Im not sure, but despite all there whimpy peace talk im pretty sure many buddhist too are killing Christians, and deny objective truth

tacos, so very tasty and good for you,: I dont know how many good spanish and Latin Christians have died eating that poor food... probably deny objective truth

Yes, Jesus sure has much love these other religions for. <_<


Actually speaking from a more helpful point of view, if you want to know what is good so you can convert them, the Muslims supposedly have great devotion towards our Lady, and actually have faith and care about their religion, so that is a good place to start.

Hindu's and buddhists are worse off because they deny objective truth, and deny the self.
