I don't think so. Religions are constructs by man, and as such are falible. If you look throughout history you will see many instances where wars have been waged in the name of religion, even right here in our most recent century. Christianity itself is not immune to this. Think of the Crusades, Prostetants v. Catholics in numerous instances including Ireland, and Christians v. animists in Africa. Religions are a means to control the masses with expectation of blind obedience, and there is a huge difference between being religious and spiritual. Regarding Christianity specifically, I am afraid that what Jesus taught has been perverted to what serves the powers that be best.

no!
peace and religion can't go together. less so with any of the monotheist faiths.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam share one core principal, complete domination and blind obedience, every one who thinks differently is evil and an enemy of God and his true believers, how can you have peace with this kind of mind set?

THOSE WHO WORSHIP THE TRUE GOD
People of many races, ages, and circumstances following the way of true worship
base their teachings on the Bible
worship only Jehovah and make his name known
show genuine love for one another
accept Jesus as God’s means of salvation
are no part of the world
preach God’s Kingdom as man’s only hope
WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

True religion is identified by its teachings and practices.—Matthew 7:16, 17.
Jehovah’s Witnesses practice the worship that God approves.—Isaiah 43:10.

If they follow that part about "blessed be the peacemakers", then they could be. Much of "Christianity" in the past seems to have completely overlooked that sentence, however, and got the whole movement off on the wrong foot.

Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace and since Christianity is based upon His teachings--I would say YES.

Actually, you would have to define what peace means to you.
If war was to be eliminated, would it still be peaceful?
people would still die in accidents, sickness, economy, fights,killings,murder,rapes, drunkyness,adultry, ect
would still take away from your peace.
because of somethings, God said," There will be no peace for the wicked ones"

Not the self claimed "Christianity" you no doubt speak of, they are as false as every other religion holding a dove in the hand in front and a knife in the one behind their back.

It must be because of all the non Christian countries asking Christian driven countries to help them bring peace to their non Christian countries.
