comparative religion, n.All

Comparative religion (n.) lumped ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the prophets with fakirs, Bacchantes and dervishes, having decided in advance that all religion is alike.

Comparative religion (n.) tried ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠for centuries to prove Christianity one religion among others; the victim mechanism turns out to be not one more analogy but the source of all of them — and the Passion spells it out.
