Non-Violent religions in teachings and practices.

I would like to know more about religions out there.


Could you guys list non-violent religions in beliefs AND practices?

In other words, you can't list Pentecostal or Mormons, despite the fact that their religions espouse lots of non-violence: they still support violent actions like the war on terror and justify it with their beliefs.

I'm talking about truly non-violent religions like Jainism or Zen Buddhism.

Some varieties of Hinduism. As well as Gandhi's Satyagraha (which can be both religious and secular).

Thanks. A little background: A theist hater said all religions are violent. I disagreed and she asked me to list just 3. I think I was successful in listing just three but it distrubed me how little I knew about the world's religions and I wanted to discuss and learn more about the world's religions. I was largely unsuccessful with google searches.




On another note, I did learn the Jehovah's Witnessess were really non-violent. They have a thing about not joining the military because of that. I thought that was really neat.

Oh, Rastafarianism as well.

Funny, all these religions are pretty small.

Jesus preached non-violence. I wonder what happened to Christianity along the way. Did he really matter that little to them?

Buddhism has ~half a billion, and yet its probably the least violent religion ever.

They mostly read this:

"I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword" (Gospel of Matthew 10:34)

That's not the only type of violence. You're pretty obsessive about including those in religion.

Yes, It might seem that way, but Religious violence is there to be criticised, cause the religious seem to obsessively warring based on their scripture.

Buddhism as a faith is non-violent but fundamentalist monks have recently been raiding churches and smashing statues.

So it depends on the individuals.

Well if thats the case, maybe all we can do is try to find the LEAST violent religion, as they all are steeped in the stuff.

People have attacked and destroyed Buddist statues too.

Religion: The great divider

You are giving religion far too much credit.

Jedi Religion is mostly non-violent. They would be completely non violent if it weren't for those f.ucking Sith.
