Your entire description of the Beast fits the United States to a tee. There are no other countries that fit the description so perfectly.
Especially now with the Fundamentalists having entered politics via the Republican and Tea Parties.

#1 Why would the UN abolish organized religion? It is the one aspect of every society on earth that keeps people under a semblance of morality and restraint.
#2 The worst dictatorships to rise did so headed by Atheists. HItler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Pinochet, etc etc. Why would the UN want to deal with something like this?
This is a totally nonsensical thread topic designed to make religious folk hate and fear the UN.

UPDATED
The Universial Declaration of Human Rights
Article 18
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
Source The Universial Declaration of Human Rights - Article 18
PLAIN LANGUAGE VERSION:
You have the right to profess your religion freely, to change it, and to practise it either on your own or with other people.
Countries are made of many different kinds of people from many different places.
But sometimes countries have an official religion, or a national political party.
If you are different from the majority, you still have the right to your own religion and your own opinions, and have the right to practise your religion and express your opinions in public and in private.

Here you go OWRC - handed to you ONCE AGAIN on a silver platter ...
What your very own 'US Commission on International Religious Freedom' said in regards to the UN newly adopted resolution on Religious Freedoms
March 29, 2011 <--- check that out, its THIS YEAR
The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution endorsing individual religious freedom and abandoning the "defamation of religion" language it has supported for many years. And the vote was unanimous
U.S.-based Human Rights First praised the resolution as "a huge achievement because for the first time in many years it focuses on the protection of individuals rather than religions."
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) welcomed the UN Human Rights Council's significant step away from the pernicious "defamation of religions" concept.
Today, the Council adopted a resolution on religious intolerance that does not include this dangerous concept. The defamation concept undermines individual rights to freedom of religion and expression; exacerbates religious intolerance, discrimination, and violence; and provides international support for domestic blasphemy laws that often have led to gross human rights abuses. The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has promoted this flawed concept at the United Nations for more than a decade.
"USCIRF and others, including the State Department, members of Congress, and NGOs, have worked hard against the defamation of religions concept for years. USCIRF specifically applauds Secretary Clinton and her team for today's result. We also thank Representatives Eliot Engel (D-NY), Christopher Smith (R-NJ), Shelley Berkley (D-NV), and Frank Wolf (R-VA), for their leadership roles on this issue," said Leonard Leo, USCIRF chair.
"Thanks to these efforts, and those of previous administrations and Congresses, more countries each year voted against the defamation of religions concept because they understood that blasphemy laws increase intolerance and violence. Tragically, it took the assassinations of two prominent Pakistani officials who opposed that country's draconian blasphemy laws-Federal Minister of Minorities Affairs Shahbaz Bhatti and Punjab governor Salman Taseer-to convince the OIC that the annual defamation of religions resolutions embolden extremists rather than bolster religious harmony."
The efforts over the past several years by USCIRF, the State Department, Congress, and a broad coalition of NGOs helped bring about a steady loss of support both in Geneva and New York for the defamation resolutions.
Since 2008, the resolutions have been supported by only a plurality of member states. In 2010, at both the UN Human Rights Council and General Assembly, defamation of religions resolutions garnered the least support and most opposition the issue had ever received, coming within, respectively, four and 13 votes of defeat.
In place of the divisive "combating defamation of religions" resolution, today the UN Human Rights Council adopted a consensus resolution on "combating intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization of, and discrimination, incitement to violence, and violence against persons based on religion or belief."
The resolution properly focuses on protecting individuals from discrimination or violence, instead of protecting religions from criticism. The resolution protects the adherents of all religions or beliefs, instead of focusing on one religion. Unlike the defamation of religions resolution, the new consensus resolution does not call for legal restrictions on peaceful expression, but rather, for positive measures, such as education and awareness-building, to address intolerance, discrimination, and violence based on religion or belief.
"USCIRF is gratified that this new resolution recognizes that religious intolerance is best fought through efforts to encourage respect for every individual's human rights, not through national or international anti-blasphemy laws," said Mr. Leo. "What is needed now is for countries, such as Pakistan, that have blasphemy laws to eliminate them."

It is starting. Two important rulings have been made by the British High Court.
1. Religious organizations are financially liable for acts committed by people in position of authority.
2. Government has the right to monitor and alter educational policies conducted by religious organizations.
