No Abrahamic traditions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) are truly peaceful. One need only read the various "holy" books involved.
No religion that claims to be uniquely and exclusively THE "way" is truly peaceful. This immediately creates opposition and division, which leads to disagreements and violence; true spirituality unites all human beings.
ANY set of beliefs inculcated in an individual by parents, schools, or society that is not EVER meant to be questioned is called "brainwashing" or "programming."
Various indigenous cultures encouraged their adolescents to seek their own relationship with the Universe through rites of passage, often involving a vision quest.
For some tribes and peoples, the vision quest involves powerful plant medicine - peyote, psilocybin, ayahuasca, iboga. These boundary-dissolving substances dull our perceived separation from the world. Experiences with these plants seem to enable us to real-eyes our oneness with and the integral nature of the Universe.
Religious dogma and programmed inculcation needs to be abandoned for a personal, timeless relationship with the Universe.
