Has there ever been a long period of time where religion was a peaceful part of society and not a ruling political party or a part of a discussion of things we hate?
In what way could those of us who believe in a higher power be able to mend past wounds and show society that we can quietly coexist, rather than buck heads in the heat of battle?

To the first question...no.
To the second question (and this is somewhat of a blanket statement to all faiths, and only my opinion):
Stop killing people who have a different faith than yours.
Stop trying to legislate your views of morality.
Stop trying to institute your faithbased views and calling it science.
Stop trying to convert those of differing faiths (an individual's path is for them to decide, not be led to).
Stop denouncing that which has been proven, even if it is in direct conflict with your belief.
Stop trying to force your view of god into places it doesn't belong, and try to cover the truth of it by claiming that you really are trying to acknowledge all faiths, and the word "God" is generic in this case.
Insist that your particular place of worship pay taxes on any money it is not using in a charitable way.

Well, I'm not a historian, so at a glance, I would say no. It would be nice if people could just worship how they choose with out causing some political strife some where.
I suppose the real problem is a form of global fanaticism. You see, there are people out there that are so proud and so self-righteous about being what ever faith they are, they forget the rules of the faith all together.
One of the most hypocritical things I've seen happen....
Joe: We live in the greatest country ever! We have freedom of Speech!
Fred: Yeah, but the USA sucks
Joe: I'm gonna kick your [censure] for talking [censure] about my country!
See what I mean? it's kinda like that. Best wishes.

No. before the flood the scriptures background of that international of folk replaced into that they replaced into voilent and did in spite of evil got here to heart and methods. replaced into God the blame? No.replaced right into a non secular society the balme? No. Mankind is going to adventure this as quickly as extra whilst the Holy spirit with attracts his ability to convict the sinner to repent. Thats whilst the persons of this time and thinking will see the end results of sin and insurrection against God. We Adventist call this the time of Jacobs hassle and the super tribulation to stand certainly everyone before Jesus return. Then in accordance to the bible the peace and harmonypromised to the redeemed would be generic constantly.

All religious can sit down to discuss how to make people happy, peace, and calm. We can only looking at our own faults and start from our own sins confess and complemize and respect to each others. If everbody can look into their own fault and cannot see other people faults, the whole world will become harmony.

John 15:19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
