Pride, fear and greed are the root causes of why there is no world peace and probably never will be.
People blame organized religion, but thats too simplistic. Beneath all the religious extremists are those who have tremendous pride, think they are 100% correct and that the other side is 100% wrong. They have too much pride to listen to other points of view, and too much fear of anything different that will shake them from their narrow, cozy world of understanding. Note, this kind of thinking is not limited to those of organized religion. Any 'group' with ideological leanings has to guard against such tendencies.
Greed of course is the other one. Looting and plundering the resources of others has always been a source for war, disrupting world peace.

Humanity can never enjoy world peace. It's a sad fact of life. There will always be a group of people unhappy enough with someone who will then take arms against them. There are few scenarios for world peace, many of which involve mass death... Aliens come to Earth and try to kill us, so humanity is forced to work together. We stay together in fear of another alien attack. Mankind is nearly wiped out (asteroid, nukes, disease, your pick) and the survivors decide that killing each other would end the species, and there's peace. A government very much like Big Brother comes in, and teaches all the children to follow the government. Assuming no collapse of the world wide military government, there is eventually no free thought left.

HUMANS
not religions. Human tendencies to fight and argue is the biggest obstacle to world peace. Religious diversity is just a way many express that argumentative nature (just look at this section...)

tribalism. And some tribes are bigger than others. Some tribes are based on religion, and others are based on families.

Overpopulation. We fight each other when there's not enough to go around.
