I would say you are not looking deeply into these religions. If you look at the core teachings, before politicians added a lot of baggage, they teach the same things, much more than just that there is a central force.
For example, 'we are all one and one with God'. 'Do unto others as you would have it done unto you.' 'Faith accesses the creative power of the universe.'
Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha - they would have gotten along perfectly. They all said the same things, using the language of their culture. They saw and communicated the same truths.
