All religion begins with this notion:

Nothing my eye, Something for sure
A pencil has meaningful coherency.

A pencil is to writing as a hand is to grabbing.

If the hand is meaningfully coherent it cannot come from mindless processes.

Anything meaningfully coherent requires consciousness.

Meaningful coherence cannot come from mindless processes.

Therefore consciousness is fundamental.

If consciousness is fundamental then a source of consciousness is required.

That source must be eternal because mind cannot come from mindlessness.

Something that has meaningful coherency is intended and purposed to function for a reason.

The existence of a written letter 'A' demands meaningful coherency to exist and that demands human agency.

So too, the existence of organized life demands meaningful coherency and that demands intentional agency likewise.

I, a human life form, am analogous to the writing of the letter 'A'. The human form expresses intentionality in its construction, and purposes specific to its cause.

Meaningful Sense does not come from nonsense.

Therefore consciousness is in fact fundamental.

If consciousness is fundamental then an eternal source of it exists because meaningful coherence cannot come from incoherence, nor can it come from nonsense.
That is fine as an aesthetical argument for some form of theistic belief.

I would never say that it is a part of "all religions", though. It just isn't.
