allthough there is already such a movement (ecumeny), which is - i hate to say that - a very bad idea, since it's not - as intended - bringing together different religions but combines them to one mixture of hypocrite antitheses. sorry for these harsh words. but isn't the church an institution to represent its religion? i don't want them to battle for their disciples, but to send their message out so everybody can evaluate the truth. we can't when we're overwhelmed by blindfolded statements.
Eventhough I'm sure I would be going really far off topic when talking too much about this, but ... this has been going on for a g e s already ... The Jewish belief have things in common with Christianity, the Islamic belief have things in common with Christianity and so on and so forth ... The Asian religions are perhaps even more mixed, especially because usually each area has it's own 'history of mixing', governments who banned certain things etc.. Certain concepts, like a 'messiah' or 'heaven' or '1 God' seem to appear in quite some religions, that's why they are not necessarily automaticaly totally 'incompatible' with eachother. I do agree though, a total mix into just 1 religion will never happen ... Too much differences, too much of a powerstruggle and cultural influences.

it might indeed be that a "world government" would've problems with minorities
Exactly, that's why I wondered wether or not these kind of huge governments would actually care about minorities, or even if they would care, would they be able to help?
