You can look up the site on world scripture - A Comparative Anthology of
Sacred Texts at http://www.rain.org/~origin/wscon.html

As an example refer to the following in the section "THE TRUTH IN MANY
PATHS" on the page http://www.rain.org/~origin/ws/theme00a.htm;

"This section gathers passages from various scriptures which affirm that
others who do not share the faith of that scripture are
also following the way of Truth. Thus Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism
understand the various deities to be expressions of a
single Absolute Reality, and the various paths to lead to one Supreme
Goal. Judaism has the doctrine of the Noahic laws,
God's revelation to all humankind through which non-Jews can be
righteous before God. The Christian Bible contains passages
affirming that God had intimated himself in the religion of the Greeks.
Sikhism affirms the common spiritual origin of Islam and
Hinduism. The Islamic scriptures affirm that Jews and Christians are
"people of the book" who share the same God as the God
of Muhammad. Furthermore, many religions teach that a nonbeliever, if he
does righteousness, is acceptable before God and
will receive a reward. "

GOOD LUCK
