Is that not a tent where the Ark of the Covenant is supposed to reside?
As far as I'm aware that's either in Ethiopia or lost to the annuls of time.

Never understood people using their guy in sky to parse “who gets to exist more” based off of different guys in sky (ironically the same in this case, yet different).
If nobody is agreeing on a god, you can’t use religious texts to decide earthly affairs (personally I don’t think they ever should in the context of governance)

Cheers.
Something to cross off the list.
There used to be enough agreed upon morality on earth. That isn't the case anymore unfortunately.

There’s enough agreed upon morality on earth for humans to be able to make decisions, negotiate, or make treaties on.
Often when we find a difference in morality, it’s because someone is using a religious text. And many times they’re using it as justification for their own leverage or equity.
Dogma is poison, and this is even evident outside of religion. Hell, even atheists often become militant in their ideology, see the USSR.
