If you'll notice, the U.N. is being mentioned more and more.
I see no evidence to support this assertion. Consider, for example, that Google Books N-gram shows that references to "
United Nations" have steadily declined over the past 70 years in the published literature.

It will eventually have the power and the guts to stamp out all religion.
It's easy to say something like this, but much harder to explain the sequence of events that would actually bring this about. In your imagination, what, exactly, will the United Nations do to "stamp out all religion" in, for example, Saudi Arabia? And when (even roughly) do you think it will do that?
Consider, too, the way the United Nations is constructed:
It has as part of its
Declaration of Human Rights the express assertion that all people have the right to freely practice religion (Article 18), which informs some of its advocacy, as in this
example.
But it also can't take even modest actions against any country without the unanimous consent of the Security Council, which is why it can't even sanction Israel in the current Gaza conflict let alone force it to stop its current military campaign.
How can an organization like that "stamp out all religion"?
