Personally, I don't believe the world would be more peaceful without religion, but I believe that it would be more peaceful if religions did not teach that theirs is the only religion and all others are wrong. There are good and bad in all religions, the bad is when people start to believe the only way to Heaven or God is through their religion and everyone else is going to Hell. No one has the right to judge another religion, as long as it is teaching love and compassion, and it is not harming anyone. There is only one God, who cares what path another takes to find Him. He is big enough to find anywhere. Christians tend to forget that the one they believe is the Son of God, Jesus, was Jewish. If you are not Catholic, you are not allowed to receive Communion, another words, the One they pray to, the One they believe is the only way to Heaven, could not receive communion if He walked into the Catholic Church, doesn't that bother anybody? Of course He could as long as He didn't tell anyone, but according to the Catholic Church, it is not acceptable.
