So many religions, but no harmony and peace. Why? I am not religious nor do I believe in God, and I am not trying to insult. If there are so many religions and they all pretty much preach peace and harmony, then why don't we have that? What is it that drives religons to a competative state, instead of a state of unity towards the goodwill of humanity?
Also, can you answer any of my other questions, they have nothing to do with religion but I need answers, thank you.

A great deal of the world's religions can't or won't accept any other religions and thus strife between many religions exists. Many people in the world promote peace, but only their brand of peace. Many people believe that peace can only be obtained by following their own set of rules and that those who believe differently need to change their ways in order to make peace.

Not all religions are peaceful. That is one reason that things in this world are "screwy". And even if someone is a member of a religion that is peaceful does not mean that the person really agrees with it. Sometimes people join things just to fit in somewhere.

Not all religions preach peace and harmony. That is a broad statement. Islam, for example, teached that whoever does not convert should be killed. So does Judiasm in the Talmud.

I can only speak for me. I am a Christian but I do feel I lives in peace with all religious and non-religious peoples. I don't get angry when someone does believe EXACTLY to my understanding...I love to be around those people because I learn more from others with different points of views

Now that's the million dollar question, eh? Religions preach peace, but the most bloodshed in history has been caused by religion.

A small percentage of the religion's adherents at-large ruin the whole groups persona for society. For example, militant Islamic suicide bombers and whacked-out bible thumping televangelists. They do not represent the community at large but often have enough power to falsely represent the ideals of their respective religions.

I would believe the holy bible, it has stood the test if time, it can change you life and it offers hope to all who will accept Jesus as their personal Savior. Unlike other religions, you can have a personal relationship with Jesus, the bible says he is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. There is the added benefit of healing, provision, and eternal life to the follower of Jesus.

Jesus Crhist is the only right
He is alive now
Jesus say unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man
cometh unto Father, but by me.
John 14:6
And ye shall the truth, and the truth shall make you free John 8:32
That the God of our Lord Jesus Crhist, the Father of glory, may
give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. Ephesians 1:17

There is no peace and harmony because everyone's definition of peace and harmony, not to mention religious beliefs, is different.
