Let's look at this. Merriam Webster's dictionary, religion, the fourth definition.

Let us all, please, before being Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, or whatever else...let our religion be peace. Let our religion be love. Let our religion be caring. Let our religion be preserving the beautiful earth that, by one way or another, we inhabit.

Then, go ahead, throw on your specifics - God, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, Vishnu.. But, whoever or whatever you pray to, let it be for a united world that has a collective religion: that of understanding and accepting each individual's beliefs.
