Western religion is.  Eastern religion like Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism, are very peaceful religions.  It's reflected in their cultures, relatively speaking.  I'm not an expert, but I believe the American Indian religions were very constructive as well.  Their gods are happy, supportive, and constructive...much unlike the selfish bully-gods of the west; honor me or rot in forever punishment.  Pffft....

Americans are myopic and think the rest of the planet is like them, Europe, and the middle east.   It isn't.
