Are their any religions of peace?
Does anyone remember the crusades?


No, and that includes modern-day Christianity.



No it doesn't.

In the context of this thread, the analysis of what religions are or are not based on peace is rooted from doctrine. If the first post of this thread is to be believed, Muslomic religion has an inherently violent logic that accompanies it. Christianity, however, doesn't have this characteristic. The Crusades were started because Christians felt threatened that their way of life was going to be annhilated. They were extending defense, not launching mass conversion.


I don't think Muslomic is a word.



The NT may have a doctrine of peace but it hasn't been practiced that way since Constantine's conversion and merging of thhe Church with the Roman Empire.
