Conflict is built right into the religions. It is the single biggest thing that sets us into groups of Us Vs. Them. As long as there is an "Us" and there is a "Them" we will have conflicts. Until Humanity as a whole is put as the top priority, not invisible friends, we will never achieve world peace.

Also, most Theists think that certain actions and beliefs of people, even if those actions and beliefs are causing no harm to society, will incite the wrath of their god on society as a whole. They will continue to try to make everyone conform to their theology as long as they think that, and that is a major of cause of division.

As long as religion exist people will fight over it because everyone think that their religion is better than all the others. Even here in America people who are religious say they want religion back in school and would condone even having classes on religion. But if you say ok then we will have Islam as well as Christianity and Judaism people will loose their mind

What do you mean by "get along"?

That we should just allow bigotry and hatred of a religion or people be the norm or way of life.

I'd rather take part in a cyber-Jihad to remove the bigots here.

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

You said it, if we could do that, we could have world peace, but that will never happen b/c most religions believe they are the right one, even though some people don't down others for their beliefs. People just need something to bicker about.

Fears & doubts.

About them self & others.

Religions seem to stress the differences, not the sameness.
Those that would be leaders use these differences to stir up people for their own ends.

My God is better than your God sort of thing.

By getting along do you mean us be silent about the abuses committed by the church? So long.
