If there was global peace wouldn't everyone be following the same religion? So wouldn't that be a negative factor of global peace because no one religion can unify people it can only divide.

Kara, in case you haven't noticed, we have come to the conclusion that YOU need to do the THINKING and WRITING.

When you have written up what YOU THINK, please re-post, and we'll see if anyone has comments.

I understand that. That's what I did above. I asked the question and put what I thought. I wanted to see if that was right or not.

Global peace means that everyone agrees that religion is a personal choice and not grounds for "war".

If there was global peace, it does not necessarily mean that everyone would be following the same religion. Here's why:

1. Diversity of Beliefs: People have different beliefs, values, and cultural backgrounds. Religion is deeply personal and can be based on a variety of factors such as upbringing, culture, and personal experiences. Even in peaceful societies, people may choose different religions or no religion at all, and that diversity can coexist peacefully.

2. Freedom of Religion: Global peace should include the fundamental right to freedom of religion. It means that individuals have the liberty to choose their own faith or belief system without fear of discrimination or persecution. Upholding this freedom is crucial for ensuring peace, tolerance, and coexistence among diverse religious communities.

3. Secularism: In many countries, there is a separation of religion and state. Governments often adopt a secular approach to ensure fairness and equality among citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs. This allows for diversity and prevents any single religion from dominating or dividing society.

4. Unity in Diversity: Global peace does not require uniformity of religion. It can instead be achieved by promoting dialogue, understanding, and mutual respect among different religions and cultures. Embracing diversity can lead to enriching exchanges of ideas and perspectives, fostering a sense of unity despite religious differences.

In conclusion, while it is not necessary for everyone to follow the same religion for global peace, promoting tolerance, respect, and understanding among diverse religious beliefs and cultures is crucial for creating a peaceful world.
