I'm sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree =) None of the Abrahamic religions are all that peaceful actually. They all feature and legitimzes violance and slavery. What's WRONG with religion is their Holy Books, and Islam has the Hadiths on top of that

The Abrahamic religions are based on morality and principle before the eyes of a creator. All three of them.

The jews have a responsability before God to be faithful to his commandments (Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, ...) lest they suffer his wrath.

The christians are called to follow in the footsteps of their messiah (if someone hits your right cheek, give them the left cheek).

The muslims have a whole law prescribing them how to be fair to those around them.

There are aspects in the books of the respective three religions that could empower a psychotic person, but almost always to the detriment of the laws and moreal principles in the book itself.

Yes, I agree that these religions have SOME good qualities, but I would argue that those are also found around the world regardless of religion, and even WITHOUT religion. The Abrahamic God is a cruel one with little sense of Morale, in my eyes at least. One great example of this is the story or Sodomon and Gomora; Lot (the ONLY good recident in this city) gets a visit from two Angels, and a mob then gathers around his house wanting to rape these two fellas. Instead Lot offers his virgin daughter (or if it were two of them?) for the mob to rape. That's real classy. That's the morale of the Bible. And do you know what the punishment of leaving the Islamic faith is? Death. How neat. Great morale ;)

I'm sorry if I sound a bit harsh and angry, that's absolutely not the case =) I just find these things interesting.
