Why divide?

pictures of various religious symbols from numerous faith backgrounds, ending with a picture of a mixed group of people of different races & gender & ages outside on say steps of Lincoln Memorial - yet half of the people on one side and half on other - sitting still with serious expressions

}Religion is what divides so many people - socially as well as personally.

Is it not about time that we use this divider as a uniter? Looking at two opposite ends of the specturm, the message could not be clearer... one can only hope it is seen. {for the next sections that briefly discuss both sides, pictures will not have different themes behind them - pictures of various ages, races and gender preforming community service acts and helping others - even put inner city children}

On the one hand, Secular Humanism realizes personal potential and feels working to better humanity is important. Despite whether or not it is from a naturalistic or supernatural standpoint, the bottom line, the message is strickingly similar to it usually opposing group of Liberal Protestants.

Liberal Protestants feel most important is how one conducts your life on earth. Doing good and avoiding harm to others is key. Once again, faith is not play a role; it is the mere idea of being a good person.

{ending image of the same group from the begining yet all standing together around the monument with smiles and conversing} Isn't there enough the world is divided on already? Why divide on an issue that can bring people together?
