All the religions have one thing in common and that is they all teach us to be helpful and kind to others!

all followers of these harms believe in several gods, apart from that they believe in some guru who came along in a period of crisis to preach when people go astray. idol worship is common to all.

They all are man made.

to AHA: all religions are man-made. God is man-made.

to answer the question, all 4 are child religions of Santana Dharma that existed in ancient India.

Hinduism - compared to different parts of the world - has nothing in common among the members. It is a far developed culture and civilization consisting of one god but innumerable names with individual freedom to name a new or select one existing names of God. Hinduism is based on the "search of freedom of (my)self from this body.
No other religion has expressed so convincingly on this earth. Therefore each Hindu had been searching the God in his own new path and thus the religions were born.
When Hindu made some groups based on 'Varna' there were 4 groups and rest were still Hindus ( avian - ). So Hindu is infinite and does not have the properties and functions of a distinctive religion
NEXT IS COMMON - THE HUMANITY IS A FORWARD MOVEMENT./

Dharmic religions tend to be more tolerant to others in general . Dharmic religions are those which have a concept of "Dharma" in them . Dharma is interpreted in different ways in these 4 religions , but they are close enough to be grouped together .
Dharmic religions share their birthplace - India and
Reincarnation ( no permanent hell/heaven )
live life in accordance with Dharma .
Karma
All 4 cremate their dead

Buddhism and Jainism are atheistic . Hinduism ranges from mono to poly-theism . Sikhism is monotheistic and pantheisticICC

All came up in INDIA. Each religion has borrowed concepts from each other to such extent that it is difficult to know today what is the original teachings of all these religions.
