Japan, the Soviet Union, China, India and the US have now all landed a spacecraft on the moon. I think giving consideration to each nations various religion concerns and objection is not as important as making sure the moon is not "claimed" by any one of them, divided up or fought after.

This seems very sensible. We do not want to export ownership ideas from Earth to space. The moon, if it is to be "colonized", should be done in a international perspective.
"NOPE" says you. So what? You're an ideologue, face up to it. You're also living in a dream world. Raised on Star Trek philosophy, no doubt. I always wondered, as I pursued my own studies in science, Why is it that humans can't be bothered to deal with the mess they've made of their own planet, they want to take their mess to other planets? Have fun living on the Moon, genius.
It's not going to be regular folks like you who'll have the 'freedom' to live on the moon. Do you know what conditions there are like? Imagine the cost. Nope, only the trillionaires and their slaves will ever go near the moon.
-> Quote: Article II of the treaty explicitly forbids any government from claiming a celestial body such as the Moon or a planet as its own territory, whether by declaration, occupation, or "any other means".

How about don't colonize the Moon at all?
NOPE. The moon is the staging ground as we move into the universe. In 100 years, several thousand people will live there for extended periods.

Geez, let people do what they want. The person who doesn’t even want to leave people the freedom to live on the moon is the mindless ideologue here.
LOL. "Freedom"

Every new technology starts out being restricted to the rich, but then moves on to mass adoption.
I'll put you on the "clueless cluck" list. Honey, our entire computer revolution is built on techniques learned to support our space effort.
Really if anybody desires to colonize it that's fine by me. I prefer Earth personally.
I hope you don’t include individual rights of ownership in that.
"making sure the moon is not "claimed" by any one of them, divided up or fought after."
This is already safely dealt with by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty
