Two religions I will claim long before the Christan...those or Hinduism

Buddhism is pretty neat from what I've read. Haven't read a whole lot on Jainism.

They seem much less interested in wars than many.

Well, the Buddhists are good about the whole "dying to the self" and the ego, because that's something Christ also advises, and something Christians must learn to do. I don't know anything about Jainism except when their radicals get in the news, and it's usually about some fanatics, so if there's "moderate" Jainism, I don't know.

Peaceful except for a few cases.

Buddhism is great. I haven't read on Janism. But Buddhism is good.
