Yes that is all very nice ...and it could have been just as well that human beings were for once and finally starting to look up & around themselves and see with the light of reason that these distinctions were artificial and that all men were created equal , under heaven. That in the adolescence of our race we became self-aware ...of our own universiality of thought and peoples , as Socrates once exclaims by the tables of the moneylenders at the Agora, 500 yrs before Jesus : "I am a free citizen of the world " If you wish to praise your "God" for this awakening , and keep it wrapt up in that ancient apocrypha and lore, and myths and promises of the "Holy Land " and redemption claims , feel right at home and be your own guest... There are many mysteries under the sun , and no collection of creation myths , stories of the tribes , or heavenly self-help philosophies are the complete truth . no matter how you unwind them . Especially this pernicious persisting and so overblown one of "The Sons of Abraham " nonsense. This left out 1/2 the world with that Biblical nonsense, and created one of the mightier sources of divisions around the world since men started scribling down their mostly imaginary tribal historical fanatsies, and linking them up directly to this indefinable entity , you wish to call "God". Regime change , not one-sided mystical religious world change is all we need to see for the time being , thank you. There are enough Mullahs , priests , clerics and/or Rabbais going around , muckying up the waters to last several lifetimes.
