Is unity possible with division?

I often see, hear and learn about people trying to end
borders,
racism,
prejudice,
sexism etc., but I have realized that their goal or vision is too small. The biggest so far I have seen is end of racism. Why do I see it as the biggest? because some assume that addressing a race is the biggest denominator and you can address most number of people. This however leads to segregation and those who produce within themselves degenerate genetically, culturally and in so many other ways. I see religion as the biggest, safest and the right way of unifying people.We already know that fights over religion have cost a lot of lives and historically it might be the 2nd biggest killer after lust for power. So how can we unit people based on religion and still not cause problem?.
Most might think that I am talking about hindus vs muslims vs jews, christians vs budhist etc., which is a big no. We want to unite people who aren't most likely get along and also at the same time give them a pressing reason to.
I suggest abrahamics vs non abrahamics. Today almost all religions can be categorized as abrahamics (jews, muslim, christians, amish etc.,) and non abrahamics (hindus, budhist, sikh, jain, etc.,). It doesnt have to be a way but it can be a cold war where each is competing respectfully for the betterment of the society. This is why I think that in order for us to end racism, borders (may be in near future) and other dividing factors which divide people into multiple small pieces, we can unite all in just 2 groups, 2 pieces which is better than everyone trying to overtake others violently. It is a thought. Just making a note of it here.

stackexchange: Are shudras and women not allowed to chant Aum i.e Pranava?

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. Chanting and reading are different. Vedic Chanting has two parts - Tone and Recitation (Patha). It further has four different tones - Udatta, Anudaatta, Svarita and Deergha Svarita. Pathas are the styles of hymnal recitation. So unless your are are well skilled in these and your pronouncination, enunciation is accurate, you are not supposed to chant. Chanting the same mantras in different way produces different effects, different vibrations. Many a times a slight difference in spacing, intonation, pronounciation, enunciation produces different meanings. So unless you are classically trained to chant these, one shall avoid it but can read them with sound without making a sound, silently. Ex: Many in north india swap va & ba. Ravindranath tagore becomes rabindranath tagore. Many in north india also swap ra & da

stackexchange: Why do many Hindus eat meat and fish? Eating meat and fish directly violates the principle of Ahimsa

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. The meaning of ahimsa today unfortunately has been equated to non violence due to the lack of equivalent word in english. Just like atma is not sould, ahimsa is not non violence. It is a state of being. Meta is discouraged and not forbidden in hinduism. Today unfortunately meat has been associated with health and fitness. Let us have a look at the animals in the jungle. Elephant - biggest animal, most powerful animal, heaviest animal Rhino, hippopotamus, wild buffalo - big, powerful, heavy deer - fastest animal giraffe, camel - tallest animal tortoise - lenghty life horse - speed, vigor donkey - most hardworking Many of these vegetarian animals (elephant, rhino, hippopotamus, wild ox, wild bull) can easily defeat any tiger, lion. In fact no lion or tiger ever dare to do a one on one with any of them. You will notice

stackexchange: What does the demon kali staying in gold mean?

 since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. I think you are taking it in the wrong direction. Many of hindu texts have sub layered meanings.So the parikshit permits him to stay only in places where there is prostituion gold (riches, display of riches) Alcohol (intoxicants which will affect your moral judgement) Gambling As you might have already figured out from the story, kali is non physical in nature and omnipresent. He can not only be present in many places at once but also many kalpas at once. So for easier understanding, think of him as the biggest influencer of immorality. Wherever these 4 things are there, there is a high chance that, the place and the people in it are immoral, unethical. Here are the same 4 things in islam and how it is restricted. Prostitution is prohibited in Islam. It is considered a form of zina, or adultery, which is a major sin
