Correct, one of quite a few, but not the one that shouts about it, but isn't!!

That few have ever heard of this religion underscores how being the religion of peace isn't an advantage over rival faiths.

What I find pathetic and sad is that good people will happily sacrifice "real" peace for an "unreal" promise of an afterlife!

I thought buddhism was rather peaceful at one point, but someone pointed out a story about buddhists killing people. People are people, and people will find reasons to kill from time to time. So there probably isn't a holy book that says thou shalt not kill, and actually sticks to it.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
