“But as soon as religion takes on political forms it will be dangerous again, is there a way to approach this issue?”
There is a way. The instrument of prevention is called time, which tends to devour all crystalized forms in its path, eventually. As spirituality becomes fornicated into religiosity, it is like the seed of a pearl. The creature that harbours the pearl doesn't recognize its beauty. But eventually the beauty of the pearl must come forth, and the shell surrounding it is cast aside.
What we are now experiencing in the world today is time being speeded up, so that all of those old crystalized forms of religion are cracking wide open. Many religions are also self-destructing from within - those that lost the pearl nugget before it developed, and therefore the purpose for its being in the first place. And as I gave on the other related thread to this (Esoterics - Definition), when the student is ready the teacher appears.
It isn't a matter of pushing things along, but rather a matter of being prepared oneself for the next step. That usually involves moving out of ones comfort zone. So the best way to prepare the masses for such an event is to gradually get them prepared to move out of their comfort zones. Then you will see the time when spirituality shines so brightly from within each of those who have moved forward, that they recognize the many lights as being one, and the religion then has to move forward, by the participants own impetus, into its next higher form, which is esoterically referred to as The Path of Return, or The Path of Initiations.
