the connectedness we all share as human beings

Yes! My feeling is that Jesus' ministry was focused on exactly that: we are all connected, all family, and "love one another" -- the new commandment Jesus brought to us (John 13:34 - 35) -- is the most important of the commandments. Heaven would never be a place of hatred, cruelty, or other unlove, would it?

And you're right (again): that lesson is in healthy religions and teachings throughout history; Jesus didn't mean people had to "believe in Him" as a particular deity, imo (not the most popular belief, I know), but rather he wanted us to believe his TEACHINGS, including especially about love and compassion. That's why I don't believe ppl who never heard of Jesus "are going to Hell" -- that would be cruel and bizarre -- but rather that without love in our hearts, we are already LIVING in Hell.
