As a Christian, I can tell you that Christianity as a faith (though not always as a social movement) preaches peace as one of its most basic tenets. It is a higher standard than most of us, myself included, often reach, but Christ told us to love our enemies and never to take revenge. The first part is especially difficult. I also know that the teachings of both Judaism and Islam encourage peace.
