So it will be difficult convincing them that world peace is a good thing, except in the form of the world ending and Jesus coming soon, or whatever.

First, there's only one abrahamic religion believing Jesus to make some kind of return. Secondly there's only a very small minority into end times porn. Mostly based in the USA which may distort your perspective if you're living there. Catholics, still the largest christian denomination, don't go looking for end times. Mainstream protestants don't either.

Same goes for muslims and jews by the way.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
