Technology
Monotheistic Believe in one God Prevents division Prevents discrimination Sets moral compass
Instills beliefs of equality, loyalty, and selflessness
Side note: If a utopia was to be made in real life, I would like it to be where people from any religion to escape. I believe that a life without hatred and discrimination could exist, albeit difficult. However, for this fictional work, monotheistic would work best.
