    What is the most "peaceful" religion in your opinion?

    The title is self explanatory. I decided not to include a poll because there is a load on the go already and I don't want to move activity from the people who created them.

    Now, please give your opinion with reasons why you think the religion you said is the most peaceful.

    Here is the main list of religions that I can think off. Feel free to mention any that I have not specified.

    Christianity
    Islam
    Judaism
    Hinduism
    Buddhism
    Sikhism

    Yeah I don't even know what that is. Why do you suggest this over other religions?

    What do you think is the most peaceful, Benjamin, and why?
    Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

    "When rules are selectively administered, when bias influences who is punished and who is not then everyone will begin to doubt the justice of the system."

    "Taoist propriety and ethics emphasize the Three Jewels of the Tao: compassion, moderation, and humility, while Taoist thought generally focuses on nature, the relationship between humanity and the cosmos, health and longevity, and wu wei (action through inaction), which is thought to produce harmony with the Universe."
    Taoism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    There are a lot of religions with the main focus being peace, not gods. I believe Buddhism is a lot like Taoism in this respect.

    No idea. I see most religions claiming to be peaceful but when you look into the past then they were quite violent. EG, Christianity, Islam (still is) so on..

    Obviously you do since you think you know which is the most violent.

    You suggestion there is a more violent religion? I highly doubt it.

    And nice flamebait.
