The Paradox of Religious Unity

Religion has historically been a unifying force, capable of binding human communities, but the modern situation shows that it is unable to unite humanity for several reasons. First, different cultures have significantly different notions of God, human nature, and the future. This diversity of views gives rise to numerous doctrines and interpretations that are difficult to reconcile. As noted in the reflections from the text “ link txt”, although peoples agree on the existence of a higher Being, they diverge in their definitions concerning its nature and its relationship with humans, which does not promote uniformity.

Furthermore, modern attempts to “synthesize” religions often result in the opposite effect: instead of creating a common unity, they lead to the formation of new sects and deepen divisions. In one of the texts it states:
"The promotional show called 'give me synthesis!' will simply result in the formation of yet another sect that will oppose all others (whose consciousness has not developed enough to accept their ideas)." (source: link txt)
Such an approach deepens the gap between different religious currents, as it attempts to impose a synthetic picture that does not take into account deep historical and cultural differences.

It is also important to note that the challenge of standardizing religious experience and truth is compounded by the fact that religion, by its nature, is a social phenomenon, and truth cannot belong exclusively to any one individual. This is mentioned in the reflections:
"Truth cannot be possessed individually: of course, in fact, it may at any given moment be accessible only to a limited number of people or even a single person, but even he holds truth not as his own, but as universal, to which he only contributes. ... Religion is truly social and, in this capacity, is the basis of sociality..." (source: link txt)
Thus, attempts to adapt religious truths to individual tastes weaken the bond that religion was originally meant to create between people.

Finally, an important obstacle is the influence of ideological and political forces that distort the religious message for their own purposes. For instance, one of the texts observes that modern ideologies, such as the ideas of the International, seek to replace genuine religious values with atheistic ideologies:
"And the International wants to unite humanity in a new atheistic global unity." (source: link txt)
This distortion of the original meaning of religion makes its truly unifying impact impossible, as people find themselves caught in a conflict between spiritual tradition and political interests.

In conclusion, religion is incapable of uniting humanity because its dogmas and concepts are so diverse and ambiguous that any attempt to create a unified whole inevitably leads to fragmentation. The main obstacles include cultural and conceptual diversity, failed attempts at synthesis, individualism in religious perception, and political and ideological interference.
