I'll try to interpret your question how you probably meant it. What if there was a religion that brought peace to the world but that was wrong in your opinion.
My answer would be this: I would support the moral guidance that religion brought because it obviously lead to a satisfying outcome but I would still reject the metaphysical reasoning behind that moral guidance. We would have a way to make human being behave kind to each other, but we could still convince people to act this way because we know that this would lead to peace, not because it was based in facts.
But religions divide people and stand in the way of world peace very often so that's a very unrealistic scenario.

"Unified" is a nice word for war. "Under it's umbrella"? Those Germanic and Slavic tribes don't exist anymore with their culture and traditions. They were forced to change by a tyranical system.
I disagree that it's a misconception. I think Harari is wrong.
My point is that I don't believe that one religion is sustainable. There is not one kind of christianity. There are thousands of sects within all religions. And when the differences between those sects over time become too big, ecspecially on a global level, this leads to a schism.

Sounds like an oxymoron.

A "theology philosophy"? Based in science? Such a thing isn't even in the realm of possibility. Theology is just agreeing on what made up things you want to believe in; science (and, largely, philosophy) couldn't be more the opposite of that. Why not just a philosophy. We have such a philosophy; it's called secular humanism. Although no philosophy is going to "bring peace to all humanity". Humanity is going to have evolve into something it's presently not, for that to happen.

Exactly, evolve to a new understanding that replaces all faith based religions but is like a black hole, we of less smarts except on faith that scientist know. A system core that to the less evolved humans was viewed as Gods. Like a caveman in a virtual world.

I don’t actually understand this question.

@Matias Glad it wasn’t just me!

Have you ever learned about something that before you experienced it you would not have believed possible? There is more to come.

@ewsintex Okay... I’m looking.forward to the next instalment.

Hard to think of what would be required. Umm. I would say that it would be a net benefit on humanity therefore would be good in my book.
