Moral control over other human beings is based in religion or one's core belief system. Religious freedom is the expression that men believe there is a God who rules over them. When religious freedom is denied, it is the expression that the one denying that freedom believes he is God. I do not mean to say that religion is to blame, but, rather, a religion is the motivating force. Every man has a religious idea, even though he may not call it that, and the forces that now govern national and international interests are no different.
Every man worships something.
He either worships God, a god or himself. Man's great desire for one world in harmony is the story that the United Nations has adopted. While this idea seems laudable, humans do not function on the level that everyone is the same. Because of this, the forces of world unity are using deception, force and even death to encourage the masses that their new way is best. The same thing happened during the Middle Ages when one forceful religion, calling itself Christian and thinking itself God, murdered millions of its foes.
