However, it brings different things to others, I'm afraid. "Religion" is a very, very broad word. Not all religion is an agent for peace, unfortunately.

Even within general religions, such as Christianity, you'll find both peace-bringing and hatred-bringing. It's just too broad a word to have any universal meaning, frankly. Endorsing all of "religion" in general is probably not something that makes sense, I think.
