<p>None is denying the historic role that religions played in uniting humanity in certain ways, in certain phases of history. Religions acted as the dominant narratives in aforesaid phases and kept human groups united in one way or the other. However, present age is different from past in many ways.

Moreover, nation states are also inclined more or less, to accept the truth which emerges from such scientific studies. Some of the nations are still not in 100% compliant in accepting the scientific findings and, change/modify their behaviour as suggested by bodies of scientists and subject experts. Yet, they are in no position to deny their responsibilities out rightly in the comity of nations as, we the earthlings could weave a dominant narrative that whoever causes damage to environment be it a nation, corporation or individual; is common enemy of the humanity. This narrative is all-empowering as it brings whole humanity on single platform as equal stakeholders in sustainably utilizing the natural resources keeping in mind their renewability and continuity for the future generations. </p>.<p>The ones who are still looking for solution in known religions for solving human problems, may take a leaf from this example and learn to discover ‘points of union across religions’.
