contrary to popular belief WE DONT NEED GOVERNMENT OR RELIGION. all we need is understanding how to exist with our hearts. understanding that we are all one human body. understanding that there is no such thing as good or evil. understanding what unity really means.
the anti-christ is anti-freedom. government will never be freedom. religion will never be freedom. for anyone that can understand this you have already begin to make yourself free.

Parts of Islam are based on christianity, but I don't really know. It also could be America, or the world economic system...

Yes. Very true. The following is a quote form my blog. LINK Notice how laws are not necessary when you love your neighbor, but objectivism leads to tyrrany.
"Life requires a choice from each of us: Either we steal away the gift of life as a possession through egoism, or we honor God by paying the gift forward for the good of others through altruism. Stealing gives the reward of what is taken. Giving pays back abundantly and endlessly, across many lives and throughout many lifetimes. The choice should be easy to make when viewed according to the truth of where the soul resides. Law is an unnecessary boundary for the altruistic individual.
Egoism—the pursuit of rational selfishness and the pursuit of personal happiness—is the deception of our egocentric society. On the surface, this materialistic, me-centered mindset seems like a plausible philosophy for personal advancement. The immediate rewards of the self-centered mindset are undeniable and hard to pass up. These rewards are immediate and seem to emanate endlessly from the fountainhead of temporary abundance and perceived security. It is easy to shrug off altruism for fear of uncertainty and loss. Egoism is the easy path to follow but ultimately destroys the soul in the process. No legal requirements will be enough to hold back egoism in a materialistic society."
