6 Religions have contributed to the peace of the world, but they have also led to division, hatred, and war.
We feel obliged to call for sincere acts of repentance and mutual forgiveness, both personally and collectively, to one another, to humanity in general, and to Earth and all living beings. Religious people have betrayed too often the high ideals they themselves have preached.
Peace implies that love, compassion, human dignity, and justice are fully preserved.
