i was watching the news today and it said something about these conscientour objectors. im all for the first amendment and freedom of religion but lately its seemed that religion is above the law. i was wondering which religion doesnt allow its members to go to war? and how the government would know if they are really from that religion and not just saying that so they dont have to go to war. any thoughts?

Jehovah's Witnesses are conscientious objectors and do not go to war. The government could find out if a person is actually a JW but checking with the local Kingdom Hall they claim to attend.

Real believer of Jehovah father and Jesus Christ the Son don't have a religion, so I don't think religion cares about who goes to war or not, all they want is war. But the True believers don't believe in war.

The Society of Friends (Quakers) are pacifists, and don't believe in war. Most religions have rules against killing people, violence, and torture in their doctrines somewhere. Nixon called himself a Quaker and he was a criminal.
What people believe and what they do are very often vastly different.
The Jewish god ordered Jews to demolish whole towns for a slight against a favored family. Who listens to the voices in his head?

You don't have to have religion to consciensciously object. All that means is that you don't believe in the cause, so therefore you won't fight.
