Abstract
"In one form or another, nearly all the world's religions and ideologies promise their adherents some form of peace - some way of deliverance from the precarious plight humanity is in. Hinduism and Buddhism promise nirvana, a blessedness through extinction of individuality and desires. In African Traditional Religion, a worshipper believes that through divination and prescribed sacrifices he can be delivered from his enemies, real and· potential, secure the help of his ancestors and the gods and be prosperous in life. Islam strongly advocates submission to Allah as the pathway to peace. And modern humanism looks forward to a society freed from all forms of violence - social, cultural, economic or political. "
