The systems put in place by a Judeo-Christian society essentially divides people and discriminates, rather than unites people. If they abide by a set of rules they are distinguished as one of the good people and welcomed into the sect, but if they do not abide by these regulations, then they are cast away and rejected. So the realisation of what shall divide the people is religion, and then what shall unite the people in love, a burning love for all people. So that someone can reach out their hand and make contact with the unfortunate, and create a love so strong that will not seek to divide, but to unite.
