Why are we here, Richard Dawkins speaks with a Jew, a Christian and a Hindu?

Epigraph:

I have single mindedly devoted the whole of my attention to Him, Who created the heavens and the earth, and I am not of those who associate partners with Allah. (Al Quran 6:79)

Eyes cannot reach Him but He reaches the eyes. And He is the Incomprehensible, the All-Aware. (Al Quran 6:103)

To my ears the Jewish lady, Silvia Jonas, has the best opening statement starting approximately at minute 20 of the above video.

Later in the dialogue, I do admire other panelists for their contributions, the apologist for Christianity Richard Swinburne and Jessica Frazier, apologizing for Hinduism.

The collection below is meant to complete the discussion on various aspects of the dialogue above. I am theoretically inserting myself into the debate above, as there is no Muslim speaker there. But, indulge me a little, if you will, as in my self-satisfied moments, I think of myself as one of the most pluralistic Muslim: I am a Jew, a Catholic, a Christian and a Muslim; I am Zia H Shah.

If the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims are together talking to the agnostics and atheists among them, then their mutual religious differences, become insignificant if not irrelevant.
