It gives a pretty general overview of various religious beliefs. The author tries to show how almost all religions have the same ideals (no stealing, no lying…) and that perhaps God is the same and is in everywhere and in everything and that we should all be a bit more accepting of each other and

our various backgrounds. I liked the idea, but think it could have been a bit more thought through and the illustrations lacked quality.
