Seven Monotheisms
There are in fact seven primary religions that are monotheistic (as in having only one god): Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Samaritanism, Christianity (sorta), Islam, Sikhism, and Bahai.
There is a certain degree of moral agreement between them, at least among the orthodox elements. But each religion and most of the individual sects of those religions claim to the be "The Truth" and the "Only Truth," which makes unity difficult. While they war upon each other, verbally and literally, they have seven opponents who are making huge progress: atheism, secularism, humanism, materialism, sensualism, neo-paganism, and non-deistic religion (religions without a god or supernatural being).
Unity need not come between the monotheisms by coming to an agreement about doctrine, so much as an agreement that above all other things there is ONE GOD, and moreso agreeing on "moral principles." But here again, there are usually liberal and conservative factions within each of the monotheisms, and within the various sects thereof, and so even moral agreement is impossible to achieve. The conservative elements are not going to even entertain the notion of unity and the liberal elements are so concerned with being politically correct and kissing the arses of the popular culture that they are sell-outs (watered down religion tailored to the ideal of "Do whatever you want as long as it does not hurt anyone").
So moderates are the target group---those who can see the big picture of the necessity for unity in the face of being overrun by secularist forces and forced into a liberalistic worldview that excludes the centricity of God and God's will.
Bahai is attempting to unite the various forms of monotheism, but also the non-monotheistic and non-deistic as well, and they are so pacifistic and so concerned about being "nice" that I just cannot imagine that they can succeed at anything accept helping to create the New Secular World Order.
Anyway, I am feeling greatly distressed as of late about the Global Effort to EGO (edge God out), and don't understand why more people are not upset by the secularist agenda to force liberal values upon God-centered societies and people.
