Theocracy
Rev Moon has consistantly sought to interact with political leaders across the world. In 1974 Moon visited President Nixon. In 1991 Moon visited with Soviet leader Mikail Gorbachev to promote the peaceful dismantling of the communist empire. In 1991 Moon visited North Korea to open dialogue with the aim of peaceful unification of the Korea penninsula. In 1994 the New York Times reported that, "outside investigators and onetime insiders … give a picture of a theocratic powerhouse that is pouring foreign fortunes into conservative causes in the United States."[60] In 2000 Rev Moon sponsored a United Nations conference which proposed the formation of "a religious assembly, or council of religious representatives, within the structure of the United Nations." Stating, “although secular authorities rule most human societies, religion lies at the heart of most national and cultural identities. World Peace can be fully accomplished only when the world’s religious leaders work cooperatively with national leaders.” Religious movements represented at the summit were Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto, Bahai, and Native American religions.[62]Oddly Rev Moon was criticized by conservative Christians for this proposal. Rev Moon has also championed international, interracial and inter religious marriages as keys to modern world peace. The Universal Peace Federation was launched in 2005 to with the vision of humanity as one global family of God.
