Peace will not come from the abrahamic religions.

The prince of peace will bring peace on earth.

Here's one that says you're wrong:
Matt 10:34
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."
(Jesus himself speaking)

The word "peace" can be found in 104 verses in the New Testament of the KJV. There are a variety of applications depending on the context. The "peace" I had in mind has more to do with "peace with God" other than peace on earth. You're correct in saying Jesus doesn't bring peace on earth, in fact He will b ...[text shortened]... peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Maybe it could come from some sort of concerted subsidized international action involving benzodiazepine.
Originally posted by EladarAnd yet the world has many large pockets of peace and prosperity made up by (secular) people. How do you suppose that is?
As long as people are in charge there will never be true peace. There may be the peace you would find in China or North Korea or perhaps Iran but that isn't peace.
