Without creating one universal religion, taking away the rights of others, declaring certain religions as 'wrong' or banning certain religions, what would it take for there to be harmony between them?  To get rid of all the fighting and intolerance to other religions?  How, as humans and individuals, could we at least take a step that direction?  Wouldn't doing that be the first real step towards world peace?  Isn't tolerance and love of fellow humans the base for most religions to start with?

If people sat back and realized just how similar most beliefs really are they'd be surprised. I think all religion is virtually the same and all religions taut the same things. All people want the same things regardless of religion or non-religion. We all want peace, love, a better tolerant world for our children, a better life for ourselves. Its when we start to claim we're one particular religion and start spouting from a sacred book that we take literally instead of as a guideline and start shoving it down other people's throats that's when the problem starts. \n\nWhen people stop evangelizing, take care of their own life but show compassion without price, live by example, avoid harassing others to convert, and spread the fundamental beliefs without all the extraneous trivial details exclusive to one religion or another.....then we'll start to see some real improvement.

Because that would be costly, chaotic and just one big problem!  There are too many religions, cultures, etc...If all of these people were forced to live in one country, war would be inevitable and a lot of lives would be lost.  As long as people are different, there can not be world peace.  Sad, but true.

Most religions teach love and respect.  That's all we humans really need to base a productive life on.  >>>>When just the act of being kind is all this sad world needs>>> to quote the end line of a poem.  Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one, everyone is one.  So I say, live and let live.  It is the wise person, and the enlightened one like yourself that learn...we can agree to disagree.

Then the Alliance is wrong.  Peace will never be achieved through the persecution and segregation of other people and religions.  It can never happen as their will always exist animosity and anger this way and the constant and continued efforts of the segregated to revolt against those measures.  All Religions and beliefs must be accepted as legitimate and acceptable.  Religion is not based on which is best it is based on believing in God.  That is it's function and purpose.  When any Religion resorts to aggressive measures, war, segregation. oppression, and or persecution then it has moved itself from the purpose and desires God had intended it to focus on and gone to Evil and wrong doing.   It says " Any person that professes to love God and hates his Brother is a liar. "  It is written in the book of God.  There is no best religion in Gods eyes as it written he has fault with all of them to some extent and in some way.  \nThe best question to ask an angry person is " What do you want " the next is " How can we work together peacefully to achieve a resolution that is acceptable to both of us ?." The third thing is to work towards that objective.   You can build the biggest wall in the world to keep people out in hopes of evading someone but eventually always find a way to tear it down.  So that Idea isn't going to work only coming to the table , discussing an acceptable resolution and working together to achieve it honestly is the answer and the only answer.

I believe more in the idea of "religions evolution" rather than the end of them. All humans will be united under one unified religion in which unified universal culture is integrated with this single humanity religion. Religion would be a set of teachings of tolerance, respecting diversity, protecting each others rights like gender equality and different types of freedom.

Hey, I love your question!\n\nI'm not really sure what you mean by "what would it take for peace to break out", but I'll assume you mean peace to break out for the Muslims and the rest of the world. I'm a Muslim, and I myself am at peace with everyone else. I think that for peace to break out, a lot of those extremist Muslims out there should retreat back to the basic fundamentals of Islam and make peace with everyone instead of making up extremist ideas and beliefs and convincing the American public to perceive the wrong ideology of Islam.\n\nFor the other part of your question, if anyone respected my faith in Islam, I would respect theirs. If they didn't respect my faith, I wouldn't respect them, but I would respect their religion as a whole. I have no problem what-so-ever living with Christians and Jews, and people of other faiths. I see them everyday and I have more non-Muslim friends than Muslim friends.\n\nTo show how much I'm at ease with co-existing with anyone of any faith, despite me being a Muslim, I made my avatar wear a Christmas hat!! lol I think it looks pretty cool! :)

And how much do you know about Islam??? Lots enough for you to talk about something that indeed you have very less knowledge about it???\n   Many people all over this world talk about freedom including free to be muslim, christian, budhist and so on. But how many of us respect every single person's right to be in which religion they want to? Including respect their faith and beleive. For example, be careful in whatever issue that you want to raise.

Your question seems to be based on some non-existent condition. Tolerance doesn't require people to support things they don't support.\n\nPeople actively oppose all manner of things, not the least of which is other people's choice of religion or philosophical beliefs.\n\nYour question seems to lack foundation in fact, you are free to oppose anything you want, just as others are free to oppose your opinions & beliefs.

You just cant ask every one to follow one religion.  Espeicially when most of them feel theirs is right.  They are devout in their faith and they will not budge.  Would you want to change if some one told you to?  If you were a very religious person that is.  \nReligion is part of who we are as a person and a society.  You just cant go and change that.  If you tried that alone could start wars.

The world is not so divided.\nYou could try ‘religious and not religious’\nBut I really don’t get why different religions feel the need to differentiate them selves from each other.  Its almost like watching Sunday football backing your favorite team, vandals, hooligans and all.

I should imagine that God hates all religions.  Most wars have been fought in the name of one religion or another - and all in His name!  I should think he's fed up to the back teeth with it all.  All that is really required is for us to love one another; to treat each other with respect and compassion; to acknowledge God as our creator, and to have a personal dialogue with Him in the form of prayer.  To this end, I don't think He cares one iota where we choose to pray.

Depending on where you live, religion might be a choice or enforced. I agree to a point with what you are saying but, if people were to simply filter out and use ONLY the morality, spirituality and common sense religion CAN teach one, then I say teach away. Unfortunately the belief in the intangable is rampant even in this modern day and age.

Hello friend,\nBashing religions are very common these days and while I think the question you posted is not actually a question and more like a comment on religion, I would like to talk about it.\n\nWe usually forget to make difference between the religion and the follower of that religion, for example if my sister can't drive and I hand her my brand new car and she crashes it, am I supposed to blame the car company for not making a crash proof car and call it a "no good" car?\n\nIf you want to know about religions then pickup the scriptures and read them and then decide what is wrong and what is not.\n\n2nd common thing I have noticed in religion bashers is that they say "religion brought all the violence to the human kind". I say, if the religions are really this bad then name few civilizations that existed in the past which were not violent and were successful.\nI on the other hand can provide you a great list of civilizations from the past that were religious AND were successful.\n\nAs a matter of fact, the most violent time for human on this earth started right after the Darwinism which pointed directly and indirectly about human races differences are actually part of evolution where whites with blond hair and blue eyes are most superior kind of human evolution. \nNo wonder Hitler had ranches where he was "breeding" the superior humans for his army.\n\nAnother common practice I have noticed from religion bashers is they either posses no (complete) knowledge and know about only one religion and based on that, they claim all religions are evil.\nJust because one or 2 religions are nonsense doesn't grants one authority of labeling all religions. Pickup the scriptures and spend some time with them. Ask questions, find answers, counter-question those answers.\nIf one can spend 28 years to become a doctor and must follow the text in order to become a good doctor then what is wrong with picking up a book for that may help you become a better human being?\n\nI personally am a Muslim and the reason behind it that I asked questions and found answers. I have studied Bible, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Parsi and Islamic scripture and then picked what I believed to be helpful for me to become a better human being for myself, the people around me and the people in this world.\n\nI hope you will open up your heart and try to understand where I am coming from.

It would be hard if not impossible to make the world happy with so many different beliefs and religions. What I would do was first hold town hall meetings like we used to yrs ago to find out what the people want not the world Then when I find a way to please the majority of the people then start on how to make the world a better places to live in.\nBut by all means I would secure the boarders and ports by securing the borders we control whom are here. I would start a program that mandates the U.S will not rely on energy\nfrom foreign Countries within 5 yrs it is possible. then start a free trade with all Countries where the Trade is equal and balanced for our Country.\nI would like the rest of the world happy but my first Job would be to try to make this Country Happy

I wish they would. I think each person has their own path and a right to that path and if it makes them a better person who are we to try and judge them or convert them. I think if people really lived according to the basis of most religions they would respect others and love their neighbor without prejudice. It would be a wonderful world if we all would seek first to understand, then to be understood. Not have to insist on being right or seeing their way as the only way or others seeing people of other religions as a threat or some sort of abomination to their religion. I find it quite hypocritical and ironic.

I believe there are differences in religions because otherwise we wouldnt have so many problems affeecting mankind today....religion is about serving the grand creator....worship that is pure and is based on the principles from the bible and not mans thinking....religions today do not live by bible principles
