How About a Universal Religion for Humanity?

There are simply way too many religions out there that will not yield to the possibility that someone else might have been raised in a different culture with a different religion. Thus people fight over ideal and religion. People die due to this huge problem in humanity and something must be done. One idea is to ban all world religions or ban any country from promoting a particular religion. Another concept is to have one world religion based on such things as;

  • Truth
  • Reason
  • Science
  • Wisdom

So, how about a Universal Religion for Humanity? Is it even possible and if so what would it be like and could it adapt itself outside our Biosphere or Earth as humans travel and colonize nearby worlds? If so this might solve the problem that we face with wars in the here and now. We need to stop religious conflicts in the world and thus need a peace keeping force to do this.

Yes by all means we need to keep the world talking to each other and understanding each other's culture, but we also need to fish out the bad guys who use and promote religion to build armies and terrorists groups to kill. Perhaps we might impose additional taxes on religions that cause the World the most problems?

The issue of religious intolerance in the name of religion is obvious hypocrisy and yet, as a World Community, these issues are not being addressed. If we fail here to stop the hatred and misunderstanding, all we do is continue more of the same for another few hundred years, but why?
