Every religion is a path toward something greater than ourselves. Omnists explore them all, looking beyond their differences for the truths they share.
In week 38 of 2026, 135 sermons and addresses were analyzed across sixteen traditions. Orthodox contributions were most frequent with 28 items, followed by Sunni (23) and Humanist (13). Other traditions included Climate movement, Catholic, Theravada, Free church, Vaishnava, Hinduism, Zen, Protestant, Baha'i, Mahayana, Alevi, and Reform. The dominant values identified were community, knowledge, responsibility, and humility. No single value was shared across all traditions. A notable tension emerged in the domain of environment and animals, where Orthodox perspectives emphasized giving while Sunni perspectives highlighted danger, with a measured distance of 2.0.
Tending, carrying and protecting the common life; the individual is part of a whole. No other value is carried as strongly across all 25 traditions at once. Counted are the traditions with at least 3 analysed texts; below that, an absence would be chance rather than a finding.

Each axis is one of the twelve values. The further an area reaches out, the more weight that value carries in that religion. The three religions with the largest collection are preselected; the others can be switched on or off. The shaded area in the middle is what all selected ones share.
The six values that carry the most weight overall, over time. A gap means nothing is available from that tradition in that month.
Papst Tawadros II. predigt über die Pflicht von Priestern, in Liebe, Geist, Glauben und Reinheit ein lebendiges Vorbild zu sein, das andere zu Christus führt.
Der Text preist die islamische Geduld (Sabr) als aktive, schmerzhafte Hingabe an Gott, die Leid in göttlichen Sieg verwandelt.
Ein Mönch tröstet eine Mutter, deren Sohn Krishna ablehnt, und erklärt, dass dies aus ungelöster Trauer über den Tod der Schwester stammt, nicht aus mangelnder Erziehung.
The text uses the scene in Gethsemane to show how human weakness leads to sin and how self-reflection and prayer help to strengthen the love of God.
There is something greater than us. Call it God. No one sees it directly. Religions are the protocols people built to reach it: prayer, ritual, scripture, law. Each protocol carries the language, the culture and the knowledge of its time. That is why they differ, and why none of them holds the whole. But they are all trying to do the same thing: to tell the truth about what is greater, and to live by it. An Omnist calls none of them wrong for speaking differently. An Omnist listens to all of them, including those who search without God, compares what they say, and pays attention to what repeats. Where many paths meet, truth is most likely to be found.
