The problem is when modern nation states become subservient to sectarian materialistic irreligion when they are supposed to serve all people regardless of race, religion, or nationalism for all time. Pure religion is nonmaterial and eternal beyond the
limited identity of transitory race, nationalism, sectarian religion. Thus freedom of religion and nonviolence is that higher eternal spiritual consciousness necessary for human advancement and understanding. That is pure monotheism that transcends race,
time, and place.
Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence. Anyone (people) who has once proclaimed violence as their method is inevitably forced to take the lie as their principle.
Peace before justice not justice before peace.
The concept of religion was formed in the 16th and 17th centuries, despite the fact that ancient sacred texts like the Bible, the Quran, and others did not have a word or even a concept of religion in the original languages and neither did the people or
the cultures in which these sacred texts were written. For example, there is no precise equivalent of religion in Hebrew, and Judaism does not distinguish clearly between religious, national, racial, or ethnic identities.
