To a degree I have to say... sort of. Those who have actully spent some time studying religion (and defintly ones other then Christanity and Islam) soon learn its not all about fire and poking. Its all about seeing the truth in it and seeing what was just symbolism. If you peel through all the layers of interpation you see that most religons DO profess you to do the same thing on a daily basis. Of course there are also major differences as well. Its all about what you are supposed to do with those differences. The majority of those differences do with how the people pray and spend time doing religious things. Such as well.. praying,hail marys,the rug thing,the banging wall thing,all the damn kneeling the catholics do,sacirfices and so forth.
