I have hope for the human race that at some point, before we ever completely destroy ourselves and the only world we have in the name of religion, that humanity will rise up in unison and finally recognize the lack of logic and acceptance of ignorance all faith based ideologies must by their very nature embrace and decide once and for all that religion itself is in essence one of the most divisive factors to ever achieving peace in our world.

Anyone who truly embraces the concept of peace with a real knowledge of history and religions hand in it should be ill equipped to defend any religion. Religion has claimed literally millions of lives over the course of humanity. Nearly every armed conflict since the dawn of man up to current times ever undertaken has always been in the name of one religion or another. If this weren't such a stark and sad reality this would be comical, since of course every single religion claims they are, "a religion of peace".

If religions truly were by nature peaceful I'd have a much easier time accepting peoples faith in them. With my own sense of logic, and real hope that one day all humanity will achieve peace with one another, I do understand with absolute certainty that until humanity sheds the cloak of inhumanity and intolerance of one another all religions wear so proudly, world peace will always remain an unattainable goal. I view this idea in grave sadness as world peace is something nearly all of humanity would like to see, yet in using religion as their spiritual and moral guide and compass toward that goal, it will always remain just out of reach.
