No Chance Of A Brave New World?

Jews criticise Germany's first Holocaust memorial

Humanitarian attempts to face the real challenges of modern society, such as starvation, AIDS, tsunamis etc. etc. are not greatly assisted by attempts to maintain victim cultures based on the chauvinistic claims of old-time-religion. These very victim-cultures are in themselves huge contributing factors to the seemingly increasing suicidal depression amongst the better-off nations in the world.
World religions which cannot lift themselves above these chauvinistic claims cannot continue to command respect, and indeed, are losing the respect they held in times gone by.
Endless bickering between the various religious sects has taken a very heavy toll on the citizens of this small planet, to the extent that it is no longer possible to reasonably extol the virtues of of a HUMAN RACE!
Technology has brought about a greater awareness of the blundering incompetence of the "civilised world". World diplomacy can now be seen to rest merely on the underlying threat that "my gang is bigger than your gang, and if you don't do what we want, we'll kill you". National or racial mafias are now global!
Religious gurus, in all their pomp and glory, gain sustenance from this human condition, and methodically play secular groups off, one against the other. This is so blatantly obvious that better educated people are now finding it more difficult to live in a state of Christian denial, Catholic denial, Jewish denial, etc. etc.

The inadequacies of old Roman Imperialism as a model for modern society should be quite easy to admit to, so where's the problem?

It should be quite commonplace now to hear people proudly giving priority to the simple fact that we are all human, regardless of which time-space culture or ideology we were born into. Why isn't it so common-place?
Because THEY won't let us? Who are THEY?
A disgusting murder in Northern Ireland has to be brought to the world stage of the European Parliament because the Irish majority culture cannot or won't deal with it themselves. What does that say for the Irish majority culture?
Victim cultures based on chauvinistic religions are not a way forward!
