A global religion has to be necessarily universally acceptable. The acceptability will come forth if a common concept of God is presented. A concept of God based on quality ,rather than quantifying God or denying of quantification. Coming to Qualities, the highest and the loftiest quality one can think of is Independence, based on the Commonsense experience , " Whatever we cannot be, that is God ". Independence is God. A good starting point for a Global Religion.
