Recent wars (and many past wars) have been because of differences in relegion doctrines; even amongst people of same race. If God is love, then fighting due to religion differences is the biggest hypocrisy of them all.

I couldn't agree with you more. The funny thing is that the ones who beat their chest the loudest about their religion are aslo the ones who preach exclusion, hate and intolerance the loudest. Makes no sense. this is not what God wants from any religion. How about acceptance and the peaceful "live and let live" rather than the juvenile "mine's better than yours" for a change?

Yes most people are spiritual in nature but there are people who do not believe in God (atheist).
There is no force to become a certain religion follower your God is yours and my God is not your God.I worship to my God and you worship to your God
We need to follow a particular religion because all religions are not the same such as for muslims God is only Allah who has no son,wife and parents,but for christians God has a son
Good doings for certain religion are not the same with good doings for another religion.
War is not only made by different religion doctrines.War is made by the people who wanted authority,power,pride etc.The invaders were tempted by satans .They denied the love of God.They were thirsty of bloodshed although God does not allow to do the bad doings.USA and UK invaded Iraq as you know,was not based on the differences in religion doctrines

Most people don't need to follow a particular but many choose to so because it takes out all the guess work and thinking. Religion relies on dogma which keeps everyone on the same page. I always say look within and do that which makes sense to you. In other words let your karma and intuition guide you and steer clear of any organized religion since they all have blood on their hand.

Firstly, I think it's a generalisation to say that most people are spiritual in nature. Secondly, it would be prudent to state that wars are created by differences in religious doctrines alone. There are many other factors, and they're predominantly economic and political, all hiding behind the mask of 'different religious doctrines.'

religion as a word means "to unite" and it does just that - for the people in the religion - but then you come into the classic problem that different groups of people have different needs and motivations - not so much different than say countries (or kingdoms as was the case for most of history)

But that's the beauty of it. You don't need to have or follow a particular religion or doctrine if you don't want to.
Free will.

None of the recent wars were caused by religious differences. How about the oil in the middle east?

We as a society tend to want to believe in laws that are to our own convenience.If a homeless person walks in any church looking filthy.He will immediately get escorted out.This is true in any church wet-her it be Catholic,Christian,Jehovah's Witness, and so on.We are all hypocrites trying to follows laws bestowed on us from 1000 to 2000 or more years on us.If truly we all lived as Christ did or Gandhi or Buddha there would be no conflict because we would realize we each create our own atmosphere by our thoughts.We all come from one god.His name is I AM there is no devil no other gods no nothing.He is absolute.Which means nothing can exist outside of him/her/it.He is pure love.Pure light.You are what you think you are.Like that old saying "I THINK SO THEREFORE I AM"

you don't have to follow any doctrine.. just the bible.. usually people choose their churches with the way they interpret the bible, some people do it differently, interpret i mean.. so.. main thing is study the bible.. and God will show you the way..
and you are right, it is hypocritical to do the crusades.. in the Old testament God told the jews to fight sometimes... but not today.

We dont need to follow religious doctrine. We need to follow, tolerance,love,understanding,acceptance...etc. A persons beliefs IMHO are his/her own and should only be restricted by whether they cause harm or injury to themselves or others.
