Religions Must Create Social Units

In yesterday’s blog I said that scriptures must become scientific. If religions do not make this change, they would have to become increasingly political in order to save their religious beliefs from the increasing ignorance and power of politicians and atheism. In this blog, I suggest that all religions unify themselves into social units that function in all towns, cities, and nations. I made a similar suggestion to the Mormon church almost four years ago. My suggestion on 9/25/04 is supported by a majority, by 19 of 32 votes so far. (click) [Search for my book review on "Farewell to Eden: Coming to Terms with Mononism and Science."]

The first activity of the social uni unit must create a political activity that would cause the US Congress to form a Directorate of Theology in the National Science Foundation, a unit of the US government. This Directorate must be funded so that its power is equal to the power of all current sciences in the Foundation. Simultaneously, the social unit must create another political activity that would cause the US Congress and the US Supreme Court to define and distinguish ‘the theory of God’ from ‘the practice of a theology.’’ The theory of God would be defined as a ‘science’ and the practice of a theology would be defined as a ‘religion.’

As a science, the theory of God could not be separated from the people of the USA and the US government. As a religion, the practice of a theology could also not be separated from the people of the USA and the US government. Without separation, the creativity of the people of the USA and the US government becomes a reality. With separation, US creativity is impeded. Only Amendment I of the Constitution, which prevents the US government from making laws that establish any religion, is maintained.
