I don't think that the spirit is exclusive to a particular religion. And because it is not, I don't think that is a reason to dismiss it.

Then you have a progressive view of the spirit and I appreciate that. But when it is used as a tool to confirm exclusive claims, it becomes very different. Not to mention the oft-taught principle that what sets the LDS church apart from everyone else is the possession of the Holy Ghost (Joseph Smith). With all due respect, I like your view and to me it is an ideal view, but I don't think it works as a tool to gain any knowledge with regard to exclusive claims.
