I usually hear [from religous standing], "imagine what the world would be like w/out religion", its like, "thats what I was going to ask you." Religion is just a spiritual government. Put on an image that is desired by the majority [mostly its 1 of good cause], display and spread word of the positive effects [charity], ignore and hide all the negatives [psychosis, religous wars] which lie in a bigger picture, broader scale, right under your fukn nose.

Lastly, one [sick religous fukk] might say, its toleration of eachother's religious beliefs that will lead us to unification. Yeah right, this coming from someone who believes I will eternally suffer in an inferno for not accepting their "god", please.

like they say, it divides
The fact remains that a plurality of religions will always cause strife and division. If a person believes to his core that only HE will be saved along with the people who share his exact beliefs, while everyone else on Earth is damned to eternal damnation, people of different creeds can never peacefully co-exist for any length of time, sharing equal rights and liberties.
