That’s an issue I’ve been trying to explain since I became a member of this forum. Look at these recent comments of the US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee:

Let me re-explain this issue once again:

My proposal was that there is a Universal Being that is both creation itself and the creative Power that originated the whole universe. I usually refer to this as The Ultimate Reality. This is a singular reality and it is a inner phenomenon that is present within all living and non-living beings. It’s something like “The Force” in the Star Wars series.
 
No one has greater or lesser access to it. That phenomenon in equally present with Jeffrey Epstein and with the Dalai Lama or the current Pope himself.
 
So there is no “Chosen People” who are destined to take this or that part of the world because such is the will of God.
 
There is also no “Order by God” for Muslims to take over the entire planet and forcibly convert everyone into the only possible way of doing things (which is the Salafist interpretation of Islam).

- So what is religion?
 
- In it’s origin, it’s a sum of philosophical teachings and practical advices that includes methods that will allow individuals (like you or me) to create and maintain a stronger bond with this Ultimate Reality.
 
That’s all.

If that were all that religion were, it would be less controversial. But it's not. Religion also includes controversial and unevidenced claims about reality and moral guidance.
