I find the claim that "humans would be just as terrible without religion" to be completely baseless speculation.
That being said, there are some peaceful religions. Just not usually the ones that people think of when they hear the word religion. Boru's list (still not sure why that guy thinks he needs to sign his posts LMFAO) was pretty good, though maybe not complete. However, when most people think of "religion," they probably first think of their own religion, and then Christianity, Islam and Judaism, maybe Buddhism... etc.
That being said, I don't think the statement, "There are no religions of peace" is accurate by any means. There are some peaceful religions, they're just usually not very popular ones.

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
