I am a Muslim and I say that sounds boring as all heck. They say at the rate the races are mixing blood, within a few centuries or so we will all be beige with the exception of a few throwbacks. Maybe you should read Brave New World by Aldous Huxley or 1984 by George Orwell.
I would be just as bored in a world that was completely Muslim. I firmly believe Allah created diversity so we could all learn from one another.
What you describe is basically the goal of the dastardly evil New World Order. Everyone the same under one world government. All slaves to the minority who own everything.
Scary hmm?
I have always found diversity makes for interest. Diversity is what teaches us, helps us grow.
Can you imagine living a life without pizza? A life without Chinese cuisine? A life without kabobs? How about never having coffee or cocoa? Each culture and nationality gifts the others with its specialties. Arts, foods, clothing, music, healing methods, philosophies and religions, all these reflect individual cultures that have developed in specific corners of the globe over millions of years. Mankind would be impoverished without them in our lives.
And consider the language you asked this question in, English. I hope you realize this living language would be very dull indeed if it did not constantly change and grow by incorporating words from every other language on the planet.
However I could be flip also and say.... we are already all of one religion. The religion of living together. We all speak the same language. It requires vocalization and ears. It is only the sounds that are different!
Interesting how provincially everyone is regarding their own religion being the answer! Grow up folks. This is a world made for sharing. It is those attitudes that help promote the "My God has Bigger Bombs Than Your God" mentality. Maybe this makes me a bad Muslimah, but for the sake of us all, we need to be more tolerant and learn to live together in harmony.
This need transcends all religions.
Viva la difference!

I notice that a lot of the theists here have instantly jumped to the conclusion that the "one religion" would obviously be their own. Talk about provincial. Or arrogant, I'm not sure which.
There would still be plenty of conflict, but at least we would all have the same frame of reference and linguistic understanding.
This, however, is extremely unlikely. Language changes. Ideas change. Why? Because we are all different people who all think different ways with different ideas about the same things. Such an event is so unlikely as to be nearly impossible.

Pretty effin boring. I love studying foreign languages. And visiting foregin countries would not be nearly as cool and exciting. Imagine going to Italy and France and Africa and India and they only spoke the language you spoke? Eff that ish.
Instead of one religion, how about no religion as John Lennon suggested?

According the the Bible it was that way at one time. Then the people of Babble tried to build a tower to heaven and God made the whole world speak a different language so they couldn't succeed.
What a crazy guy that God is. Next thing he will create another Satan, even more powerful than the original, and that will be the end of us all.

Nothing would change.
We still would not be able to communicate very well - you could have 2 fluent english speakers not understand each other.
People in a single church have varying beliefs...so much more so in a single religion.
Besides, you would still have the problems caused by identification with races, nationalities, polital ideology, etc, etc.

Well we'd all be the same, have nothing to discuss and eventually people would break away anyway and look for something different. Then there would be arguments over their new beliefs and we'd be in the same boat we are now. You can't control how people think no matter how hard you try. We all have free will.

I like your thinking! Guess what? So does God. Jehovah promises in the Bible that after He destroys wickedness on earth, He will have an earth inhabited by people of all sorts but ONE religion. Those who worship him. And they will live forever. Right now, false religion is corrupting the world & He will do away with it.

Isn't that the reason that God destroyed the tower of Babel?
He created the many languages to cause people to spread out and live in smaller groups.
