I've heard God often used interchangeably in-between people who follow opposing religions. I wouldn't say they agree on each other's definition of God but that maybe that each side feels one is closer than the other to the real truth. Though it really depends on the topic on how detailed those topics are about... there are many things religious folk can relate on with regards to discussions of God that don't come down to just doctrine. Those discussions usually comes from a place of humility but
not always. First gen Americans who were raised around anti-West are more likely to bash opposing beliefs. Many churches where I am are fairly Americanized. Unless you're a politician or some sort of evangelist or some other delivery man for God's word, it's generally taboo to force religion down other people's throats. If you're dressed for church and are in a space where it's encouraged, otherwise you look like a fruitcake.
Maybe it's like football. They're all playing on different teams but within the same league (the human race)?
Let the competitions begin and may the most
worthy win?
