Charter for Compassion

I've long been a fan of Karen Armstrong, whose writing on comparative religion has consistently emphasized the similarities between faiths. I particularly appreciated her bringing atheists into her fold with this:

...some of the most eminent Jewish, Christian, and Muslim theologians and mystics insisted that God was not an objective fact, was not another being, and was not an unseen reality like the atom, whose existence could be empirically demonstrated. Some went so far as to say that it was better to say that God did not exist, because our notion of existence was too limited to apply to God.

I do commend this 3-minute video to you, featuring Karen and several other speakers, all promoting common cause among religions:
