When Ramana says, "All religions are the same," surely it makes perfect
sense to you? Or do you ask him whether or not he specifically included
the Heaven's gate cult when he used the term "all religions"? Does it
really require so much clarification?

My guess is that John was hinting at something along the same vein as
Ramana.
