Religion and peace have been almost mutual companions from time immemorial and in different cultures all over the world. This is simply because the vast majority of adherents and leaders of different religions still hold that true religion is a source and guarantor of individual and societal peace. Religion has the capacity to bring people together based on the increased trust and love it can introduce in the hearts of the people. However, gaps exist between the text and the practice of religion. The gap between peace and conflict in religion of finding common grounds for the maintenance of peaceful and harmonious relationships remains a prime commodity. This paper prevents an overview of this gap among world religions and the need to close the gap in order to achieve peaceful coexistence. The research used secondary data. political feud/elite conspiracy theory was adopted.
