Not necessarily.
Religions have (according to the history books) been very often a cause of bloody conflict (the crusades, likewise the persecution of heretics - notably the Cathars - by those religious powers who had neither shame nor concepts of doubt or mercy).
Primarily the "Abrahamic" religions headed by Vatican, Islam, Satanism, Communism (if it can be called a religion as it more or less denies a creator God), all do or used to worship the notion of power over others. (I feel led to include Judaism here also, but frankly that's too complex a subject for me to either claim a decent understanding of or to pontificate about here).
And if not bloody conflict, certainly a mental conflict about their assumptions of how our world came to exist and how it actually works.
Sounds rather like today doesn't it? Have we really made so little progress over the centuries?
Yet reading about the Cathars and Nicholas of Cusa I find myself to have gravitated toward a considerable measure of agreement with much of their belief system and attitudes!
Apparently, so does the Schiller Institute.
Their call should be heeded.
And I'll leave the last word to Carl Jung, because he says it best (even if the AI subtitling doesn't!).
