I think the labels do a lot more than JUST describe the way of worship. The labels themselves seperate people from other faiths. They act as a barriers. Why not reclassify all religions and have everyone just identify themselves as spiritual, the manner in which you are spiritual would be irrelevant?

Not going to argue communication with you (very much out of the scope), but suffice it to say, I think if people really believed that it was "many paths to the same summit" there would be a whole lot more action within these religions to come together, and there simply hasn't been.
