welfare groups

during a chat with a friend this topic came up (so many insights explode during informal chats with curious friends, but never seem to have time enough for them)...

there are lots of welfare groups (WG), who try to contribute to the society, to bring about equality, care to poor people.  but they follow different isms/ideologies

these people follow different ideologies, but want to achieve similar things, want similar end results...

they may be part of an institution, a religion, political group, fan club, CSR dept, a philosopher, a leader, cult, or any such thing /person who are trying to achieve some social cause...

but, getting them (wg's) to work together can be very difficult.  would a leftist (marxism) and a christian charity group member work together (to provide medical care for underprivileged?) - maybe mother theresa and a Marxism follower did work together in kolkatta/west bengal...  but people belonging to different groups/isms would prefer to work away from each other..

are these wg's similar to religious groups? (religious groups also would be part of wg's, but not vice versa).

different religious groups also want similar end results, but fanatically oppose each other (most of them do).
they are based on myths, figure heads (divine person), blind faith, faith, superstition, and at times plain ridicule.  the wg's also are based on such things...

all they have to do is, go a step beyond...  basic logic will show, why equality and world peace etc are good for us all.  good in the long term, better for the ecology, and so on.  so why not base the need to have such activities / goals on that logic alone?  then wouldn't these ideological chasms be bridged?

look at the human beings as one of the species inhabiting the earth, and thus accept our eccentricities and non-divinity in a realistic way, than trying to make ourselves feel holier and special... might be more useful, practical than following fanatically an ism, person, founder, or ideology might be better.  of course, shifting the source of inspiration (prerana stroth in hindi i guess), to such a logic, realism would be very difficult for most people.  but wouldn't it be worth trying?
