It is far too complex a question for there to be a simple this-or-that answer. It is clear from history that religion has played a key role in many major political disagreements including wars, but it is also clear that some religions have at times been strong forces for peace. Three of the great world religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, have each been on both sides of this argument at various times. Other world religions like Hinduism and Buddhism are fundamentally more oriented toward peace.
It may be more useful to explore the relationship between governments that do not allow the establishment of state religion and those that do. There is no implication that one way is necessarily preferable as long as the general principle of no compulsion in religion is adhered to where state religion exists. The US does not allow the establishment of religion while the UK has established the Anglican Church as the state religion with the monarch as its temporal head. The UK has broad and powerful protections for those who wish to practice some other religion or no religion at all.
There is also a difference between a government establishing a state religion, and a government that for all intents and purposes sees no difference at all between civil government and the practice of and adherence to a specific religion. It may be that maintaining freedom from compulsion in religion is more difficult to protect in some of these approaches to religion and government.
Everyone should consider that religion in principle is not the issue. The problem is adherents of religion that take on a hyper-evangelistic or militant mission to literally destroy all systems and peoples that do not hold to one specific set of religious beliefs and practices.

What is the relationship between christianity and islam?
A:There is a historical relationship, in that Christianity developed within the Jewish milieu as an extension of Second Temple Judaism, and then some six hundred years later, Islam developed from beliefs held by Arabian Jews and Christians, with perhaps some additional pagan and Zoroastrian concepts added.The three religions hold some basic beliefs in common, such as worship of one God, and belief in the historicity of the Old Testament accounts.These three religions are similar beacuase they all revolve around the same books of the bible. These books are the Hebrew Bible, which Jews follow. The Christians add the New Testament (plus or minus several books for catholics and mormons). Then the muslims add more books and the story of Mohammad. Though the biblical differences can be seen, the most arguable difference is on Christ. Jews believe that he was not the messiah and are waiting for the coming of the messiah. The Christins believe that Jesus was the messiah and are waiting for his second coming. The muslims do not believe the Jesus was the son of God, but do hold that he was a prophet. There are more differences on the requirements for salvation, but they are finicky and long. If you need more info let me know.
Which religion believes that one should live in harmony with nature?
Most minor, and major religions accept the fact that Nature is here to perpetuate human existence. Use in moderation. I am not including Christianity in the religious list, being a death cult. A combination of Judaism and Roman polytheology. Created to usurp a grassroots movement its symbol, an instrument used for capital punishment, (no top bar), was used by Rome to strike terror in Pagan hearts, during their conquest of Europe. Today it would be an electric chair, gas chamber or hypodermic needle. Add the top bar and you have a sword. "Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to was..." Pagans had their own harmonious, nature-friendly spiritual paths. To Christians nature, sex, your body, women, inedible animals, other humans who disagreed with their outlook were considered sinful. Sin was the name of a Sumerian god. I was reared a Lutheran and that was what I was taught, and I disagreed. Hence, I was excommunicated at age fifteen. No hard feelings. I was freed to find some REAL answers
Why were religions and philosophies developed and what use are they?
For some reason people have the need to understand and explain everything, so when attempting to understand and explain things, especially in times where virtually nothing was understood at a scientific level, people would often make up crap that seemed to fit the situation and add in a splash of creativity. eventually they actually believed it. Philosophy is similar, it is when you analyze something and try to understand it and think of it in different perspectives. Philosophies were created for the purpose of bettering others, but religion, though is perceived as a similar tool, is actually a devise that long ago douchbags came up with to take power over, enslave, and torture as many people as possible. Religion doesn't really do anything but give justification to virtually any action whether it be fair or not. Philosophy is a class where amoral college kids go to try and feel better about themselves. These things are perfect for borderline sociopaths and power hungry, war mongering a-holes.

Why did and does God punish kill and exterminate his own followers for something they didn't do.?
1. Everyone has committed every sin, literally or in their heart. Thus, we deserve eternal damnation to hell, so simply dying, or a punishment isn't so bad. We will be punished, though. 2. Everyone has a time to go some time. 3. There are lots of people that claim to be his followers, that really are not. Please, anyone that can, add to this list.
