Moses met and talked with God face to face. Religion is necessary. Religions can't unite. They are the hardest, the last, to unite. Businessmen can unite to make money, politicans can unite by compromising, diplomats can unite with the threat of armies behind their backs.
Empires can unite by conquering.
But religions only divide and split up into smaller and smaller mutually inimical fractions and denominations. Nothing but an abstract mathematical field in mathematical space. And the space itself is actually fictitious, created by the matter and energy present in it. And that matter and energy is created out of nothing. Good Catholic and also good Hebrew theology.
