Doesn't chrstianity claim to be a universal religion?

No, it doesn't. Denominations are generally open to any who want to learn about Jesus of Nazareth, a Jewish rabbi who refers frequently in his Words to "the law and the prophets" (the Hebrew Bible), and are places of worship for those who claim Jesus as their savior; but salvation itself is individual, never corporate.

Membership in a Christian congregation, learning scriptures or doing virtuous works do not confer salvation. It is the heart of the believer alone that can be (and is) examined by God alone that determines whether an individual is saved.

Simply put, an individual is saved through faith alone, by the grace of God alone, with scripture as the sole authority.

Unfortunately, you have no idea of what I was saying. I was critiquing the idea that J*sus is the "king of the white people" and everybody else should belong to some other religion (such people exist; they're called "palaeos"). I was pointing out that a single religion practiced by the entire human race is only evil if it's false. The entire human race acknowledging and obeying Him is a good thing, not a bad one. Some people are so allergic to the "one world religion" of the "new world order" that they don't even believe in universals. Those people are wrong.
