I’m always weirded out by this because… I mean, from my perspective it’s a made up deity anyway, so the idea that they’re all worshiping the same one seems a bit needless to me, like nerds trying to reconcile stories from different authors into the same canon.
It’s not like they concede that any other deities or metaphisical constructs are more real just because they aren’t nominally based on the same entity. These are all exclusive, monotheist religions.
It’s because they all have the same origin. They can’t say they’re different gods, because it’s still their same story they just add or don’t add extra parts on top.
Islam was started by a pagan guy who liked Christian and Jewish theology. So he grafted some stuff in. (Some pagan stuff was also added in like the Kaaba and black stone).
Christianity and Judaism have such different concepts of God that Who they worship isn’t really comparable.

Think of it as fanfic from the same origin that has been lost in time.
Humans are tribal. They need a us and them. Then and now. Look around. It is everywhere.
It demonstrates that they worship the Dogma more than the deity
Simple trick: “If you don’t do exactly as our religion says, you’re blaspheming god”.
