Reza Aslan recently sat down with Oprah for Super Soul Sunday for a conversation on spirituality, religion and the soul. There are a number of amazing moments in the episode that are guaranteed to make you think and self reflect. One such revelation is when Aslan discusses what all major religions have in common – and he should know.

Aslan was born into a Shia Muslim family before converting to evangelical, fundamentalist Christianity at the age of 15. He converted back to Islam right before attending Harvard and became a renowned religious scholar. He is the author of the best selling book, Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth.

When Oprah asks about the similarities between the major religions, Aslan explains what he feels the key is:

“Almost every major religion in the world has a sentence, a commandment, that is a version of ‘Do unto others as you would have done unto you’… All of them are focused on how to live a life of value in a community”.
