Religious and Belief System Division
All religions share the commonality of universal, unconditional love at their core. This is also the most integral and valued of practices within each religion. Where the lines get blurred are when priorities and values are placed higher than that, at times without awareness due to the consuming complexity of illusions under an unknowingly Love-oppressing doctrine.
Concepts like religious exclusivism, exclusive salvation, associations with humans being satanic or evil, divine land ownership rights, and identifying as God’s chosen people are the emanations of self-righteousness and are fundamentally in contrast to universal, unconditional love.
This is theoretically provable by asking simple hypothetical questions. If everyone belonged to this religion would there still be ‘evil’ or harmful behaviors? Yes, harmful behaviors happen within every religion. If there were no humans would there still be satanic or evil influence? No, as there would be no avenue for it. Would there be harmful behaviors within the lands in which a group of people are divinely entitled to? Yes. If all of God's “unchosen” people were to be abolished, would harmful behaviors still exist? Yes, harmful activities occur within groups that identify as such.
Even in a hypothetical situation where the end goals of these religious ideologies are aligned, the issues hindering them from universal, unconditional love are still apparent. None of these ideologies spread universal, unconditional Love but instead conditional Love under the guise of unconditional Love being conditionally available with irrational and paradoxical exclusions which are divinely appointed.
The separation of church and state is practiced for the same reason as the divine right of kings is no longer practiced, religious belief systems are prone to human fear-based influence. Even within one religion there can be thousands of denominations, all of which disagree on something that in their opinion seems like a critical defining factor of their belief. It is easy to see when asking questions that people belonging to the same religion, in the same region, in the same house of worship can have majorly contrasting views on the core fundamentals of their perceived shared beliefs.
We all have our own thoughts, beliefs, and opinions about the very nature of reality and the mystic as we all have our own unique perceptions and they can be easily shaped by personal desire, religious power plays, worry, inherited beliefs, and fear.
