    To answer your question, Yes, I think religion is necessary for many people. To eliminate religion simply because we struggle with it is to throw the proverbial baby out with the bathwater. Religion is a venue for spiritual enlightenment and personal growth, a platform from which we can seek answers to questions of divinity, morality, and our very existence, and if nothing else, a locale wherein we can enjoy the fellowship and insight of others who share our concerns and curiosity. As far as establishing one universal faith to unite all denominations, I’m not sure it’s possible, but I would offer a religion that supports this endeavor in its very nomenclature: Unitarian Universalism (UU). UU is not a Christian faith, but among its members you will find Christians, as well as Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and even atheists. UU tries to look beyond doctrines that declare ultimate truths to a unified humanity that promises to search for those truths together with love. I am aware of my bias, but perhaps this is worth investigating for yourself.
