Quakers, or the Religious Society of Friends, are against war primarily due to their core belief in the sanctity of life and the principle of nonviolence. They emphasize the importance of inner peace and the idea that all individuals are equal in the eyes of God, which leads them to reject violence as a means of resolving conflict. Additionally, Quakers advocate for social justice and humanitarian solutions, believing that love and understanding can achieve more than force. Their pacifist stance is rooted in their commitment to living out their faith through peaceful means.
