I'm born a catholic and raised through catholic school, though I only went to church when I had to as a student and later on in years for weddings and funerals. In fact, I despise the catholic church more and more as time passes (we all know why). But there is something about what is going on that makes me feel that I need to reconcile with God. Not as a catholic, but as a person who truly believes God is why we are what we are. Why we are here, at this point in time. Sadly, I'm starting to believe that religions segregate us and keep us away from the real relationship that we should have with God. I know in my heart of hearts that if I drop to my knees, the answer will be there. At the same time, I'm scared to learn just how far away I've drifted from the truth! We all deserve a relationship with our true creator, and HE deserves the same. I'm ready to establish, re-establish, and even exhaust my effort to do so. I hope many of you are ready to do the same! We deserve it! HE deserves it!

I think yes and no. We have many denominations that promote earthly things, like LGBT+ agendas.
I could get behind unifying many churches under a large umbrella.
Actually my church is involved in something called NH alliance. Churches that initially came together to help fight the drug crisis in NH, but is now expanding in a lot of directions. It has long been my prayer for unity even when starch differences exist between the different denominations and guess what?! There has been much unity. They focus on the core tenets of Christianity.
Look at something similar, Ligonier Ministries, they do something very similar. R.C. Sproul and John McArthur have many disagreements theologically. When asked about McArthur's salvation, RC responded, "I don't think I'll see him in heaven. He'll be so much closer to God than I, I don't think I'll run into him" as he chuckled and walked away from the interviewer IIRC. This is the way.
