The idea of Integrative Religion has always been attractive to some groups.
I was told that Sahaja Yoga urges its followers to accept the divinity of gods of different religions. And the chakra points in our body are the site of different gods. I think, by so doing, Sahaja Yoga hopes that followers of various religions will not reject the practice of Sahaja Yoga, and even embrace it.
The religion call Cao Dai, with a magnificient temple in Saigon is said to have millions of followers. This religion amalgates other religions - Chinese religion, Buddhas, Hindu gods, Jesus Christ, Prophet Mohammad, and so on. It is really a melting pot of religion under the name CaoDai-ism. (Surf www.wikipedia.com, and Youtube, search for 'cao dai')
Well, the founders of these Integrative Religions may think they have a solution to the divisive nature of religious ideologies. But....it's going to be very messy!!
