converging

Two lines seem to be converging. One represents the various “Christian” groups. As these lose their Biblical distinctives and evolve to sort of a Unitarian universalism, they veer to the left. The other line represents the great ethnic religions: Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. As these purge themselves of their more objectionably carnal aspects and emerge clothed in a philosophical monism or universalism, they veer to the right. Eventually the two will meet in a glorified religious group.
