Is It Possible for Humanity to Create a Peaceful World with Religion in it?

[abaris]

OFC, I'd mention decisive miltary action against despots the world over as yet another way to increase the peace, but for many...that would be too far into negative territory despite it's effectiveness.

What I put into question is the effectivness itself, not the morality. When - after WWÍI - was it ever effective if the peoples in question didn't rise up to do the first step. There are examples of successful revolutions. Such as in Portugal in 1974 or to some degree the fall of the Iron Curtain.

But there has never been a successful outside intervention since 1945, which followed entirely different parameters than the ones we're dealing with today. Highly industrialised countries of the first world with at least some democratic history. Maybe there's one exception, and that's the fun fact, the Vietnamese intervention at Cambodia in 1979. But there the goal wasn't even to get rid of Pol Pot, but to ensure border security.
