One looked down other whom has different religion. It made one person seeing another person who is not in the same religion so evil, wicked, faulse God believer and so on.

Without reallizing, this is the main reason mankind are separated. Without religions everyone would be equally beautiful person and most likely being more friendly to other.

Religion might be the manifestation of man's hatred. But spirituality is not necessarily that. The fact is, Jesus never said to be religious. A person can just shoot right past that and know God without being religious. By religious I mean the trappings that so many Christians clothe themselves in both literally and figuratively.

I am so glad that I don't have to 'seem Christian' like so many other people.

You assume that the presence of religion the only reason we lack peace.
The media is full of reports of people getting into trouble or suffering, and religion is seldom the issue. Are there not troubles based on money, sex, pride, ambition politics, natural disasters, and disease? I see all kinds of problems arise in my life, and few of them have anything to do with religion. I know the crime series on television are fictitious, but nevertheless, few of the crimes touch on religion. As long as you have people in proximity to other people, tensions will flare.
So the answer is no—tensions will continue even if there were no religions.

What Do You Think?

a. How many crime shows have you seen where religion turned out to be the culprit?
b. How many times were you irritated (lost your peace) this past week by non-religious causes?
c. Religions are composed of peace-loving people and people bent on hurting others. Suppose we narrowed the question further: "If trouble-making religious people did not exist, would there be peace on this planet?" How does everyday life teach you to answer?

There is some truth in your first statement.
But not in the second. Unfortunately, most modern man fail to appreciate the value of either minimizing sense gratification or understanding the Absolute Truth. Thus they waste their time and energy struggling only for sense gratification. Indulgence has become the watchword of modern society, in which virtually no one teaches the ultimate purpose of life. The intelligence one should use to explore the Absolute Truth is instead used for exploiting nature and enhancing sense enjoyment. The result is the growth of modern technology, which has brought society to the brink of a terrible disaster. People have become self-centered, motivated only by the desire for sense gratification. They have developed jealously and hatred for each other, which on a small scale produce ever-increasing crime and on a large scale produce widespread wars and destruction. Each of us has a permanent and real self—the ätmä, or soul—that is within the temporary material body and that uses the body to fulfill its desires. Unfortunately, in this materialistic society our desires focus not on satisfying the real, inner, spiritual self but on exploiting the material world's resources and so gratifying our material body—the outer, illusory self. In other words, right now our desires are based on illusion because they're based on an illusory concept of self, the bodily concept and from this false, bodily concept springs false proprietorship.
This desire for false proprietorship—again, based on the false, bodily concept of who we are—causes quarrel and war.

Very shallow assumption, with no basis. We have no written record of man's attitude/behavior toward other tribes/clams,groups, prior to that history recorded in Scripture, but that history relates to man's spiritual relationship to God as well as man, and we see there that those who did NOT believe in God were as warlike as any others.
Most religions offer a roadmap to peaceful co-existence with others, but many people fail to follow the map, choose not to, or do not know of it's existence. Perhaps it is because they are basically evil.

Religion is an excuse, not a cause.

It is but a manifestation of our inner selves. Whether by referencing religion or politics or race or gender or sexual preference or height or accent or whatever, people will find a way to manifest their feelings toward the world around them. That is not caused by religion, but merely advanced using religion.

Non religious people are those who created hate. You have it totally backwards.Your religion, so your saying you own it, so that means you made it right? Be very attentive as what you put is in complete misunderstanding as to why it was given.

Believers are not hypocrates, only hypocrates are hypocrates. That was made clear long ago.

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
