Yes, but it took Paul's politics and gentle armstwisting to convince the Christian church in Israel to depart from Jewish rituals and make Christianity a world religion rather than a Jewish sect. I am not so sure Jesus intended to depart from Judaism.
Anyway, all this is intriguing because it's 21st century and we are still waging crusades over things that, to me at least, seem as wild fantasies more than anything else.
My only concern is that religious fanatics believe they are doing some God's work by killing people and I want to see such insanity stopped. I hope that when all the dust settles the world will abolish origanized religion and allow people to worship whatever they prefer in the privacy of their homes.
Christ was rather saying, "Don't expect sweetness and light in this mortal lifetime." He was warning his hearers that the earth was under a reign of darkness, which we clearly have evidence as truth.
We are being told that Islam is being perverted to the ends of a madman, but if you read the Koran in even a cursory way, the violence is clear. I don't see how it can be allegorized away. If Muslims are "moderate," they are very distant, indeed, from their religious text.
The absence of religion is not the answer you would appear to seek. Communism, which killed sixty million in one century, was non-religious.
Perhaps you seek a total absence of ideology? Then you would seek to defy the human nature even more than the Communists or the temptation of The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil...
