Religions of the World Unite!

AT A GLANCE

• Global leaders are working to create one big, global green religion, leading to the destruction of Judeo-Christianity.

• The new world religion would raise Mother Earth to the level of a deity.

• This movement claims all religions are equal, though some will be more equal than others.

• It would jettison the old Thou Shalt Nots.

There is a global effort to unite the religions of the world. Not around the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, of course. That would be divisive, if not outright hateful. After all, as the late Pope Francis argued just last year, different religions are just like different languages, all expressing the divine. “All religions are paths to God,” claimed Francis. The first Jesuit pontiff, author of the deeply controversial environmental encyclical Laudato Si’ was perhaps the leading public advocate for “unity” among the world’s religions. But he was hardly alone.

The unity sought by so many religious and political leaders — the third leg of the stool for large-scale global transformation described in “A Climate of Tyranny” — must be based on concern for “Mother Earth” and “common values.” Globalists in the religious realm have made that clear for many years. Everything and everyone is welcome, except those who hold extreme views that are incompatible with this global unity for the sake of the planet — views such as the idea that Jesus is the way rather than a way.

This same concern was outlined by Lucifer Publishing Company founder Alice Bailey, an occultist whose writings played a profound role in shaping the UN and today’s global spiritual movement. Bailey, who claimed to be channeling the spirits of “Ascended Masters,” believed in the unification of all religions under a “universal consciousness.” The major obstacle: what she described as the “great heresy of separateness.” Christians and Jews, of course, know this as God’s instruction to “be holy, for I am holy.”    

Working with and alongside the Vatican on “interfaith” efforts to save Mother Earth is a well-funded and fast-growing global network of religious organizations. Financed by the United Nations, billionaire globalists, and countless governments, these institutions span the gamut: interfaith, pagan, Islamic, pantheistic, spiritual, and more. What unites them? All are openly working to bring humanity into what many global leaders call a New World Order.

A key part of the transition into the new order is a redefinition of morality. Nowhere was this clearer than at the UN climate summit in Egypt in 2022. Before that year’s Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP27) even got underway, the UN Development Program released a report dubbed “Uncertain Times, Unsettled Lives: Shaping Our Future in a Transforming World,” outlining the call for a new system of ethics and morality.

Citing “evolutionary processes and ethical reasoning” (e.g., Moses receiving the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai) that may have led to “current behaviors and institutions,” the UN report argues that “uncertain times” and “new challenges” mean it is time for something new. Individuals and societies, the UN document explains, must “adopt fundamental changes in choices,” leading people to “act according to new moral codes” that will supposedly be better suited to saving the global environment.

Efforts to bring in these new moral codes were apparent everywhere. In fact, right after getting off the airplane in Sharm El Sheikh, this author encountered a giant UN placard featuring a bizarre message on this topic from the ancient pagan Egyptian document “The Declaration of Innocence Before Being Judged Before the Scale of Ma’at and Entering the Afterlife.” Among other messages about sin, the document argued that one should be allowed into the afterlife because “I have not polluted the water or the earth.”

Even before they became so blatant, the religious undertones of the UN’s climate and sustainability scheming were already clear. UN climate czarina Christiana Figueres opened the 2010 COP summit with a prayer to Ixchel — the Mayan goddess of cannibalism, human sacrifice, and war. In 2012, the famous Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was lit up by green lights for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development. Then-UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change boss Rajendra Pachauri famously declared in 2015, “For me the protection of Planet Earth, the survival of all species and sustainability of our ecosystems is more than a mission. It is my religion and my dharma.”  

During the UN climate summit in Egypt, Pope Francis celebrated his “Laudato Si’ Action Platform.” Released the year before the summit, that document “promotes ecological conversion and lifestyles consistent with it,” Francis said. “I encourage this crucial mission for the future of humanity, so that it may foster in everyone a concrete commitment to care for Creation,” added the late pontiff, describing it as a “journey aimed at responding to the cry of the earth.”

That statement was a perfect backdrop for the unveiling of the new “Ten Commandments” at the top of Mount Sinai while the official UN summit was going on further south on the Sinai Peninsula. After a bizarre “climate repentance ceremony” featuring key religious leaders from different faith traditions from all around the world, the green tablets calling for a new understanding of morality were unveiled. “Compassion,” the new decalogue argued, means “to feel the pain of the earth.”

In an interview with The New American, Peace Department CEO James Sternlicht, co-organizer of COP27 religious events, went even further. After praising the “new Ten Commandments of climate change,” Sternlicht gave insight into the next project by the UN and friends: “A Third Covenant that we’re kind of working on between mankind and creation, that we would refocus on those elements of the teachings from across religions that point us in the direction of fixing the problems that we’ve created, so that we can build that real Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth.”

Outside observers who are deeply skeptical and critical of the push have pointed to that exact phraseology. “The global interfaith movement — for that is what this is — seeks to create a new global civilization — to build Heaven on Earth through collective peace and unity — and it sees itself as the moral and ethical voice to that end, working in parallel [with] and in support of the United Nations,” warned Christian author Carl Teichrib, one of the top researchers in this field who routinely attends interfaith and spiritual conferences around the world. “Indeed, it envisions itself as the moral and spiritual arm of the global community.”

Speaking to The New American, Teichrib, author of the groundbreaking book Game of Gods: The Temple of Man in the Age of Re-Enchantment, noted there are many ways in which this is happening. These include uniting spiritual and religious leaders around key agenda items such as “climate change” and “sustainability,” having them partner with the UN and other organizations to create or energize initiatives and campaigns, and then having them promote these agendas to their followers and congregations. This feeds on itself as religious and spiritual players jostle for a “seat at the global table” to help gain influence.  

For Christians, there are major implications, even though, as Teichrib points out, there are myriad Christian groups directly supporting what he calls the “cause of global oneness.” Perhaps most importantly, “[the movement] undermines the truth claim of Jesus Christ, for the interfaith movement necessarily claims that all faiths are valid expressions of spiritual truths,” he explained. “It also sows confusion in the church as laypeople now are at odds with leadership who adhere to interfaith progressivism.” Finally, it hampers the goal of world missions, he added, pointing to the watering down of evangelism in key documents by Christian groups focused on “interfaith” work.

Despite the lack of media attention, globalists are making great progress. From redefining sin to marginalizing so-called extremists who will not go along with the agenda, the movement to build and empower a “United Nations of Religions” is making profoundly significant changes when it comes to spirituality. And while many of the faithful have no idea their leaders are even involved, estimates suggest billions — from Christians and Jews to Muslims and pagans — are following institutions that are advancing the agenda.

One of these organizations, Religions for Peace, is at the forefront of these efforts. Described as “the UN of religions” by its then-leader, former UN population-control bureaucrat Dr. Azza Karam, the outfit claims to include “all religions.” “We think of it as the United Nations of religions,” Karam said. “The United Nations has member states or governments, Religions for Peace has member religious institutions — all religious institutions, representing all religions, [and] representatives from all faith traditions where there are no institutions.”  

While that claim may be a slight exaggeration — plenty of evangelical pastors and institutions would not be caught dead collaborating with this group — it is true that the organization has broad membership and reach. Founded in 1970, it has received massive funding from the U.S. government, the UN, subversive billionaires including the Rockefellers and George Soros, and many other sources. And its agenda is very clear: Unite the religions of the world behind the UN agenda.  

In 2019, the group met in Germany and adopted a declaration calling on all religious communities to be “in alignment with achieving the SDGs [UN’s Sustainable Development Goals].” Those goals, as discussed in “A Climate of Tyranny,” include building a global economic and political system entirely at odds with American traditions. And yet, Religions for Peace could not get enough of the UN plan. “We commit to human development as set forth in the Sustainable Development Goals,” the group said in its final declaration.

Other key organizations include the Parliament of the World’s Religions, one of the largest interfaith networks in the world. Teichrib, who has attended its meetings, explained that this organization, founded in 1893, served as the “launching pad for the West’s contemporary internationalism.” Apparently, the only religious or spiritual view not welcomed into the fold is the “divisive” position from the Bible that Jesus Christ is the Way, which is portrayed as “extreme.”

Also critical in the global move toward religious unity around globalist morals and principles are the G20 Interfaith Forum, the United Religions Initiative, the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, the Temple of Understanding, the World Congress of Faiths, the UN Alliance of Civilizations, the Committee of Religious NGOs at the United Nations, the World Council of Religious Leaders, the Interfaith Alliance, the Elijah Interfaith Institute, the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, the World Council of Churches, the World Evangelical Alliance, and many more.  

Even the UN itself is working on this. One of the major global initiatives in the effort to hijack religion for globalism and pseudo-environmentalism is the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) “Faith for Earth Initiative.” The scheme’s tagline gives the agenda away: “religion uniting for the planet.” And the leader of the initiative, Director Iyad Abumoghli, was transparent about the goals, too. “Eighty-five percent of the world population believe in a faith or a religion, and the power of that is humongous,” he said in a video promoting the scheme. “We can harness that in mobilizing faith leaders and faith followers in protecting the Earth.”

On its website, the group is also explicit about the goals. “One of the main objectives of the Faith for Earth Initiative is to strategically engage with faith-based organizations (FBOs) and mobilize faith leaders and the faith community in an effective partnership to collectively achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and fulfill the objectives of the 2030 Agenda,” the UN agency said about its religious outreach, referring to the controversial Agenda 2030 that UN leaders have called the “masterplan for humanity.”

Two years ago, the UN outfit even released a book, Faith for Earth: A Call for Action, claiming that the world’s religions basically agree with the UN’s environmental agenda. And its mission is very simple: “To encourage, empower and engage with faith-based organizations as partners, at all levels, toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and fulfilling the 2030 Agenda.” The agency partners with the Parliament of the World’s Religions and other UN-backed groups working to unify the world’s religious movements under the UN banner.

The UNEP has also been highly active in accomplishing that. Last summer, it brought together the World Council of Churches, the Muslim Council of Elders, and the New York Board of Rabbis to sign the “Climate-Responsible Finance — A moral imperative and responsibility to all children and the living world,” calling on all banks to line up behind the UN agenda. UN boss António Guterres, former leader of the Socialist International, celebrated “this important faith-based initiative,” noting that “people, communities and organizations of faith have the influence needed to effect this transition.”

In an interview with The New American at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, the scandal-plagued man who launched the scheme, Norwegian socialist and then-UNEP boss Erik Solheim, was blunt. “I think there’s a lot of attraction to this because faith leaders are so important in people’s lives everywhere in the world, and they can play a key role in interpreting the message about a better, greener, warmer world to everyone,” he said.

Throughout the interview, Solheim touted the role of religious leaders in engaging their congregations on sustainability, claiming — falsely — that all religions, including Christianity, prioritize the protection of nature. Ironically, the disgraced UNEP boss butchered Scripture, even claiming — again, falsely — that the Book of Revelation includes a great global flood. In reality, the Bible ends with a vision of a world burned up in judgment prior to the creation of a New Heaven and New Earth. Solheim also repeatedly touted the narrative of “Mother Earth,” a concept rooted in paganism and pantheism rather than biblical tradition.

Aside from biblical Christianity, all religions are more than welcome within the globalist tent. In 2016, then-UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon commemorated the most sacred day to Buddhists, saying Buddha’s wisdom could help “enlighten the world” and advance Agenda 2030. “The sacred commemoration of the Day of Vesak offers an invaluable opportunity to reflect on how the teachings of Buddhism can help the international community tackle pressing challenges,” Ban said. “Our challenge is to apply the Lord Buddha’s wisdom to the real problems in our world today.”

These ideas are now standard at UN climate summits. At COP28 in Dubai, a coalition of top world religious leaders issued a statement from the “faith pavilion” right at the heart of the summit. Claiming their faiths instill a “sacred duty” to “cherish” the “ecosystem that cradles us,” the signatories purporting to represent faiths including Islam, Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Buddhism vowed to “jointly address” the supposed “global climate crisis.”

Nowhere is the push for the one-world religion and spirituality movement more obvious than in UN-backed education programs around the world, many of them tied directly to sustainability and climate change. In the UN’s agenda for the 21st century, the 100-year UN plan often dubbed “Agenda 21,” chapter 36 of the global agreement explains that education is essential to get people to comply with the new world system being imposed on humanity.
