Quakers
Buddhists
Bahai

The Amish might be peaceful and not strike out against others but they don't promote peace for the animals or their children or women. But I guess that is an answer for another question.

As a wiccan I think the religions that proote peace are -
wicca - based on the wiccan rede ' harm non but do as ye will'
also buddhists they are very peace wary

That is just my opinion, but it depends on how you look at the world and what you mean by peace.

Peace to me means not having cruelty to animals in our world I.e battery farm chickens, if type those two words into google you will realize what torture these animals go through every day - please sign any petition you can to help these animal and any other animals that are being treated cruelly , thanks a lot - peace to me also means no war and if every religion stuck to what it believed there really wouldn't be war, think about that one there would be other stuff in this like child cruelty and others but I don't in tend on boring you.

Basically peace means many different things depending on who you feel and that the same with religion.

Blessed Be

Almost all religions will say they promote peace. Actually most religions never tell you to start war or bring the sword or whatever. If you were to ask any Jew or Muslim if their religion promoted war I promise they would say no. What they may say is that they are defending what they feel was theirs if you ask about any conflicts in the middle east. Which is true at one time both religious groups owned parts of Isreal. While there are certainly many issues a fundamentalist/radicalist view of Islam and Judahism causes many problems.

I don't know what answer you are actually looking for, but I don't think you are asking the right question.
