amo paz y prosperidad

Discovered a survey claiming that athiest( arrrr..secular) countries around the world are more peaceful than the religious countries.
Like each survey leads to a dynamite scale discussion-found people discussing the thing with derogatory,rational,irrational,devil-may-care,I-do-care and all other kinds of attitude.

I didn't want to think about it ..I have zillion things bothering me right now(starting from IM call I am supposed to take each thursday that I understand zilch about ,ending at new additions to jalta hua nazrana club) but you know how mind is... free reign types.
So here is what I think :
Even though I am tempted to believe that most of the bloodbath in all periods of history has happened because of religion (or in the name of religion)... the driving factors have always been greed,power,money etc (very same things that every religion preaches against.)

Then you have people saying even though preachers might be motivated by greed,people who follow do that because of religion.
But then,who would misinterpret religion? I believe a person who dosen't have the enough maturity to go for the right meaning,or a person who is again driven by some other force motivating him(hatred,greed,misery,hunger).

So eventually everything boils down to prosperity, education and maturity (What any religion teaches).
So in a round about way,its not religion that decides peace.Its maturity level.
