    Whichever one doesn’t include people

    The Bible warns of greed, talks about how people with wealth will never go to heaven. Look at how much colonization/spread Abrahamic religions have and they still couldn’t solve this

      Wait, so… you’re telling me… that… the violent bigots forcing their dogma on everyone couldn’t achieve world peace?

      The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine.[7]
