Do Christians not read the Old Testament?
#1 Is the Bible an optional text, as a Christian? #2 Does The Bible contain moral guidelines (albeit interpretable)?

Is that the entirety of the similarities between various forms of Christianity?
I think Wolf mentioned the Roman Catholics don't use the Bible, they use Catechism texts. Most Christians don't read the Bible other than select passages assigned to them in (usually youth) studies. The big question is, does it say in the translations what it said in the original texts.

Mother Goose contains interpretable moral guidelines. The Bible, covering thousands of years and multiple societies, contains many conflicting morality lessons. There's a passage in the bible that can be quoted to cover just about any behavior imaginable.

There are many similarities between many Christian religions, but that's the one that's common to all of them.
