Religion's just a tool like so many others to give the territorial chimp approach some higher meaning. There are many others. Nationalism maybe the most honest of all, since it doesn't really try to hide the fact of being a chimp not wanting to share with other groups.

I was going to say this as soon as I read the topic title. Even if you eradicated religion we would not be in a "peaceful world." Nationalism is probably the root of most conflict; religious identity is just a part of it.
