UnConditional Love and Peace is the only answer.

Religions do not start wars. Man gets the bad rap, often using religion as the excuse for war.

Bahai, Quakers, Jains, Amish, Buddhists, Unitarian Universalists and atheists. These are also the religions / belief systems that do not openly call for converting or "witnessing" to other people. Coincidence? I think not.

kclightman's a twit. Taoism was a root cause of civil war in China for centuries. Buddhism is part of what calmed them down. (that and the Mongolians!)

All the people who said Quakers, although they have never started a military engagment, they had a war on witches. The Slaem witch trials were done by Quakers.
Your question should is there any religion that has not been twisted to justify violence.

I'd point to a lot of the Native American 'religions', most of them were VERY peaceful and respectful. Of course Christianity fixed all that huh?
