...peace, are there any religions...? ...that can truly say this. If you believe the old testament (jews/muslims/christians) you are suggesting god is capable of atrocities, the new testament has jesus refer to the god of the old testament so cant be seperated from its teachings and the Koran has holy wars etc...where then is the true religion??
 
Jesus taught to love God and to treat other people as yourself

Matthew 22:37-40
He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.”
 
That religion is hiding with the one TRUE Scotsman. But if you're really looking for a non-violent religion, I suggest looking at Jainism.

@ Augustine, KENNETH D: Then why haven't you abandoned your families yet (Matthew 19:29, Mark 10:29-30, Luke 5:11, 9:59-62, 14:33, 18:29-30)?
 
true religion would be one that's not afraid to let people think for themselves. to be self-indulgent. to be Truly happy. i don't think there's really a religion like that. ha ha. not a popular one anyways.
 
Yes

How to identify true religion


PRACTICES LOVE: True worshippers are “no part of the world,” are not divided by race or culture, and display ‘love among themselves.’ (John 13:35; 17:16; Acts 10:34, 35) Rather than killing one another, they are willing to die for one another.—1 John 3:16.

TRUSTS GOD’S WORD: Instead of teaching “tradition” and “commands of men as doctrines,” true religion bases its doctrine on God’s Word, the Bible. (Matthew 15:6-9) Why? Because “all Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight.”—2 Timothy 3:16.

STRENGTHENS FAMILIES AND UPHOLDS HIGH MORAL STANDARDS: True religion trains husbands to ‘love their wives as their own bodies,’ helps wives to develop ‘deep respect for their husbands,’ and teaches children to ‘be obedient to their parents.’ (Ephesians 5:28, 33; 6:1) In addition, those entrusted with positions of authority must have exemplary morals.—1 Timothy 3:1-10.

Does any religion meet these standards? The book Holocaust Politics, published in 2001, says: “If more people practiced versions of what the Jehovah’s Witnesses preach and practice, the Holocaust could have been prevented and genocide would scourge the world no more.”

Indeed, in 235 lands, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not just preach the Bible’s moral standards—they live by them. We urge you to ask Jehovah’s Witnesses to help you learn what God requires of you so that you can worship him acceptably. Now is the time to act. Do not delay. The end of false religion is near!—Zephaniah 2:2, 3.
