I am wondering if anyone does belong or had belonged to a religion that HAS NOT killed in the name of the God they worship. Does anyone know?

It would have to be the Quakers. They are a christian offshoot, but haven't held the killing urges of other christian groups.
The Taoists are very peaceful, but v. few left nowdays. Confucius was one.
Buddhists are very peaceful, but there are exceptions there, same with the Hindus. Most Hindus are extremely peaceful vegetarians - some will not even kill an insect, but, again, there are a few militant idiots who kill.

I would have to say JW's religion, they don't vote, do not get involved in the world whatsoever, although they are persistent when spreading the good news.
I have been thinking about this a lot lately since reading YA, and God has put it upon my heart that if ANY religion believes that Jesus is God's son here on earth in the Flesh, then that religion isn't against God. When you get right down to it, it doesn't matter if you believe in hell or Heaven, as long as you believe in the Savior and invite Him into your life you will be save.

Quakers and Mennonites. My girlfriend and all her family are Mennionites, they do no harm, ever. Quakers are the same. They live in peace.
I live by Druid Philosophy, the Covenent of Avalon:
Within the wonder and mystery of nature is the flame of hope for mankind. Druids kindle and tend that flame with great care, full in the knowledge that what good is performed today, shall forever be felt in the years and generations to come. Humankind must not remain alienated from the very home of our spirit, but return to it, love it and celebrate that union, found in the gentle rhythms of the world of Druids.

Kemetic Orthodoxy is the most peaceful. We have never hurt or killed anyone. We have helped people out. We have been threatened by other people and yet we never harmed anyone. We teach peace and love.

Just seek God/truth outside of any religion and that is the most peaceful way to live.

Society of Friends - Quakers
Quakers have been pacifists for 350 years, but they still impacted society by opposing slavery, intolerance, etc.

Yes, the Jehovah's Witnesses have not and will not take up a weapon and will go to prison rather than go to war and kill.

Oxymoron. More people wave been killed in the name of god than for any other reason. Religion means to bind or tie. Spirituality means to breathe.
