Many leave religion not because they have rejected God, but because they can no longer tolerate what is done in God's name. Others remain within faith traditions while carrying silent doubts, moral discomfort, and questions they were never allowed to ask. The Common Connection speaks to both. This book explores the shared moral and spiritual foundation beneath Abrahamic faiths in particular, and other paths more generally. It approaches religion through conscience rather than control, reflection rather than dogma, and ethical responsibility rather than inherited identity. Through essays, symbolic narratives, mysticism, and philosophical inquiry, it confronts how sacred memory has been distorted by power, while recovering the deeper currents of humility, justice, compassion, and moral restraint that the prophets themselves embodied. It is not a book about agreement. It may not be perfect or comfortable, but it speaks with honesty. It is a book about connecting through our paths and remembering what has been lost as a common connection.
