Christianity, Islam and Judaism are most people between then, as you agree.
They explicitly all worship the same God so not "incompatible gods". I did not claim there were no disagreements about the nature of God, but that it only adds one to the GP's claim of 3,000 incompatible Gods. Even if Christians are completely right theologically, Jews and Muslims are still mostly right - one God, a loving creator, omnipotent and omniscient etc.
AFAIK most Hindus are pantheists, so believe on one God, albeit of a very different nature.
Buddhists do not necessarily believe in any god at all.
Buddhism and Hinduism are definitely compatible with each other. I know lots of Buddhists who make offerings in Hindu temples, for example.
Gods of many polytheistic religions are compatible, you just add more gods or identify similar gods with each other (e.g. Sulis Minerva who was also Venus). They can also be compatible with pantheism - you just add more aspects of God.
At the most almost all human religions fit into a handful of broadly similar systems.
- ako 27d agoI’ll agree with your last 3 words: they’re broadly similar systems - systems of deceit and self-deception. They may share the same god, but for 99% they’re different enough that they think they can kill one another and their god will approve, or even give them gifts. For 99% these religions are incompatible.

- kgwgk 27d ago> Christianity, Islam and Judaism […] They explicitly all worship the same God so not "incompatible gods" One of them (for the most part, at least) explicitly worships one God that exists as three distinct, co-equal divine persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That view is explicitly rejected by the other two.
