I think religion is often used as a tool to inspire the masses, but the underlying motivation is almost always political. In other words the guy(s) in charge of the conflict are looking for the opportunity to dominate the unwashed masses.
For example the Thirty Years War looked like a conflict between Protestants and Catholics, but was actually motivated by the desire of the Norhtern European rulers to break free of the "Holy Roman Empire." Likewise the conflict in Northern Ireland was based on the desire of the Irish nationalists to drive out the English influence. Had the Muslims who raided Europe during the Middle Ages been Rastafarians, they would have done exactly the same thing.
(Of course, Rastafarianism hadn't been invented yet.)

I heard Jesus He drank wine and I bet we'd get along just fine.
There won't be peace on the earth till Jesus reign son the earth for 1000 years..
If there was only one religion..there would be fights within that one religion over everthing from the correct way to baptize to which Bible version is most correct..John 2 says " And Jesus committed himself to no man..for He knew what was in man."
during the 1000 years there will be only one way,one relgin.
During the Kingdom there will be no religion at all, Just worshipping the King of Kings.
Religion is what man does to get to God, Christ is what God did so men could come to Him, You choose.

as long as you realize that Jehovah is king of kings ,
Jesus will still be the mediator between god and man ,
then after the 1000 years those that have proven them selves will become recognized as perfect and they will no longer need a mediator , it will be be as tho they come to life.

What would the world look like with 1 religion? I think that most wars are over religion so would there be no war?
If you are a Christian then you only need to focus on Jesus. If you are a Christian, no other religion can compare to Christianity because it is directed at praising and worshipping Christ and only Christ without question.
Which religion were you refering to? Or what exactly are you tring say? Are you saying that we should question who our Lord is andjust refer tohim as a supreme being or something like that?
I won't judge you, Iam just curious to see 1st, Are you a Christian and 2nd if not whatreligion or whom do you worship,or 3rd if you are a ChristianDo you question whoare Lord Jesus Christ really is?
AND, If you are a Christian and you do questionwhoJesus really is then I would like to know what it is that has taken you off thepath? But if not, then just answer the other question.

Revelations Chapter 19
11
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12
His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16
And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS
