Not only are philosophy and religion not looking for the same thing, they have little interest in what the other is looking for. And the different religions are engaged in different tasks, quite unlike each other.

You completely missed the point of the graphic.

The point of the graphic isn't that philosophy, metaphysics, and theology are all looking for the same thing nor is it that any of the three disciplines care what the other is doing.

The point is demonstrating, in simplified terms, how each discipline carries out their inquiries.
