Can there be world peace with religion and churches?
Are mainstream religions working together to keep the world in turmoil so that they can keep and increase the people and money that fear and strife generates? People would turn away from religion and God if there was no reason to call on him for protection! Your thoughts?
For those who don't agree I would have to say you are too close to the problem to see clearly. Peace can't be found at the end of a gun and with many of the thre major religions having political connection that means that they have as many bombs and weapons as the countries that support them. Peace is easy, but it isn't profitable!
The Christians and others are fighting in Iraq. Muslims are fighting on many fronts. And the Jews are fighting whoever is keeping them from taking over Israel. Since I link Catholics with Christians then yes the Vatican has weapons.

There are some nations that have a secular majority---Australia, some of the Scandinavian countries---they seem to get along all right without him. Religion is divisive--has always been. The world would be more peaceful without it.

How many bombs does the Vatican have? How many submarines are based out of Constantinople?
People are warlike and tribal. This is a result of our animal bodies and animal roots. Religion, when applied properly, is a vehicle for moderation of baser tendencies.

Of course there can... then solution to world peace is altruism and wisdom. Add in only virtuous deeds that cause no harm or suffering and voila! Peace! Religion and churches are simply choices.
