Creating a Sense of Unity in a Community

I want to place emphasis on the importance of understanding the role that a worldview plays in opinions and truth claims made on a daily basis. Because without that understanding, all opinions and truth claims tend to just become a large blur; communication fails, and confusion reigns. Moreover, repeated falsehood becomes blended with absolute truth and eventually desensitizes people to the truth, and then irrational decision-making and behavior ensues. This is why there's so much chaos and conflict in the world. Objectivity is the unity of people because they can all safely agree on pure solid facts. Understanding and debunking those usually subjective worldviews which are propagating falsehood become imperative if meaningful discourse is to proceed. Keeping a proper objective worldview is key. Ultimately there is only one reality and we are all living in the same world; it's how people interpret those realities that creates "worldviews." Taking every fact, characteristic, detail, attribute, property of a certain subject/object is what will result in a thoroughly analyzed understanding. Two plus two equaling four is going to be the same for the theist as well as the atheist. The problem is interpreting that data in relation to the whole of reality and being able to answer the question of “Why is it so?” You must have a full understanding in order to make an accurate interpretation. If you are not able to answer "Why?" with valid reasoning then your opinions are clearly ill-informed and not really grounded in factuality. Critical thinking is crucial. The more ignorant and less attentive you are will only cause for a much more unreliable interpretation, which is to say that the given subject is not fully understood to allow for a reputable review.
