Agnosticism. We’re not sure. You might be right. They might be right. Let’s not disagree with anyone about anything ever.

Now before you all go giving me thumbs down, remember the phrase “tongue in cheek”.

Edit: Why do Buddhists get all the credit these days? Give our agnostic friends some love.

Answer by Buddy R
Christianity. Jesus said to love, pray for, and do good even to your enemy.

The most violent would have to be atheism. Atheist tyrants murdered over 250 million people in the past 100 years.

Mat 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Lol.

“…aside from those who do not obey Islam…”

That clause is the core of all the bloodshed in the name of Islam as religion. It appears that you simply can’t understand that All People need to live with All People in peace.

Radical Islam, with its holly warriors, is the most peaceful religion on Earth; when they cleanse the infidels by decapitation of course.

You have that recognizable urge to go around deceiving people with exchange of thesis. You are probably one of those cynical Muslim crybabies from Bosnia.

Stick to your veil and Sudan style mosques and don’t ever cross to my boundary our I’ll make peace out of you.

To answer your question, Buddhism of course is the most peaceful and tolerant religion on Earth, despite it has been tried to be erased by Islam when radical Islamic peoples destroyed centuries old temples in Pakistan, because Buddhists “…do not obey Islam.” Then again, Buddhism is not a religion, but that is another story.

Answer by GaGa

@ardenwa: Atheism is not a religion.

@CuriousMindofMine: Agnosticism is not a religion either.

Answer by Terry the Klown
Haha, I get the irony.

Almost as good as: “Behead those who dare say Islam is a violent religion”.

Answer by Cockfezz
Buddhism

Answer by near
There are a lot of religions that are peaceful and tolerant, which is why you don’t here about them much in R&S, they aren’t fighting 😀

I for one am very fond of Buddhism. They have the lowest death count and are all about being open minded and peaceful. They don’t have a god though, just some very powerful leaders. (so there is a debate on whether or not this is even a religion but I count it as one)

Be aware though, some religions are very good but have very bad followers that make the religion look terrible. Most religions have the same morals, but they almost all have their flaws, which is why I cant really say which relgion is the most peaceful, that’s up to you to decide I guess.

Answer by jeffknowsbest,

Answer by Eccentric Entity
I would say Buddhism. Because until now, Buddhism has the lowest number of deaths due to it. Besides that, it does not actually care if you pray to a God, but rather it teaches you the importance of being detached from neediness.

–
Islam might be a peaceful religion in essence, but due to the alarming number of people who claim to commit killings in the name of Islam, Islam cannot be considered totally peaceful. Nor tolerant as it does preaches against believing in other religions.

–
Christianity is by far the most violent and intolerant religion ever recorded. The very book they worship contains more killings than the WWII massacres.

Answer by space boy
Find one Buddhist, or Unitarian, or Jehovah’s Witness, or Quaker who’s ever strapped a bomb to himself with the intention of killing himself and a bunch of civilians. What, you can’t? You, ma’am, are in SERIOUS denial.

Answer by Absinthe
You can’t mention “religion” and “peace” in the same sentence – it is a contradiction in terms. Like a square circle.

Answer by Blaze
Hinduism, and perhaps Buddhism. But to speak of one is to speak of the other, both share the same origins.

Answer by BloodBath
Christianity and Islam are the most violent, sir.
The least is None.

Answer by Exotica
ISLAM!
ex:
“Lo! those who believe and do good works, the Beneficent will appoint for them love. “(19:96)
“…take not life, which God hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.” 6:151
“Do not let your hatred of a people incite you to aggression.” 5:2
Surah 2:84” And (remember) when we took your covenant saying “shed not the blood of your (people), not turn out your own people from their dwellings…”
surah 8:61 ” But if they cline to peace, you (also ) incline to it, and put your trust in Allah. Verily, he is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
“And of His signs is this: He created for you helpmeets from yourselves that ye might find rest in them, and He ordained between you love and mercy. Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who reflect” (30:21)

In some verses it also says” Whoever kills an innocent life, it is as though it killed the whole humanity and whoever saves a life, it is as though he saved the whole humanity”

Answer by Unlimit3d
I would have to agree with Jainism and Buddhism. Athiesm isn’t a religion and anyone saying that all religions are violent should look more into world religions and less into their own skepticism.

Answer by Michael Darnell
Jainism and any others who practice ahimsa. Ahimsa is a rule of conduct that bars the killing or injuring of ANY living beings. They reject any sort of violence hunting and ritual sacrifice and Jains go out of their way so as not to hurt even small insects like flies or mosquitoes and other minuscule animals and make considerable efforts not to injure plants in everyday life as far as possible. They do pragmatically accept vegetarianism. In accordance to this policy notwithstanding, eating of some foods, whose cultivation harms small insects and worms as well as agriculture itself, is to be abstained from.

Hindus and Jains -are- permitted to act in self-defense, criminal law, Though ahimsa is not used as a technical term in Buddhism unlike the other two religions… Buddhists also condemn ritual sacrifice and violence, and moral codes emphasize the importance of not taking life.

I think that the best example of ahimsa was shown by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

Answer by istanbul
If we consider that the three main religions are the only ones sent down by God, being Juddaism,Christianity and Islam, then we would have automatically to choose one of those as the only official candidates in the race.
As Juddaism was followed by Christianity to correct the mistakes made by the Jews, and the Christians chose to worship God’s messenger instead of God himself, the Quran was sent to again try and correct man’s misinterpretation of the message.
Unfortnately when you look at mankind, even the muslims have seperated themselves into sects, Shiite,Sunni, followers of Ali etc..
Breaking the religion into sects is forbidden by God and is mentioned in the Quran.Those who choose religion to hide behind acts of terrorism or for personal financial gain, they are the losers in this world and the hereafter.
They shout “Jihad” without knowing its true meaning, Jihad’s true meaning is to fight to contantly improve your knowledge both of God and of worldly affairs, not to fight amongst each other.
If we correctly condem the Suicide bombers for their misinterpretation of the Islamic religion, should we not mention the Crusaders who killed and raped and pillaged in the name of Christianity.
As it says in the Bible, let he that has no sins, cast the first stone.
Each religion has its followers that do not stick to the true intentions of that religion, they argue amongst themselves, because we humans are proud and egotistical, and would wish that Gods Prophet originated from the street we live on and not in some far off land.
That God’s true religion, which spreads peace and love and understanding which was delivered in a language completely alien to all, save a few scholars, has been translated and interpreted and adopted to suit, to such an extent that it is almost unrecognisable to itself.
The answer to your Question is that the religion of “God” is the most peaceful and tolerant, which interpretation you wish to follow is personal choice, but please bear in mind, if you choose to follow idols or worship any other than God himself, you might just be wasting your time, which could prove embarrasing on judgement day..

Please take care and may God forgive us all !

Jesus said at John 18:36, “My kingdom is no part of this world.” Under Jesus kingdom, Jehovah’s witnesses are neutral in political matters, honest in paying their taxes, and do not get involved in the political or any other affairs of this world. Our trust is in the coming new world that Jehovah ‘promises to those who love him’. Jehovah’s Witness died in Natzi Germany becaue they refused to give their allegiance to Hitler.
