Confucianism is the true religion of peace. Only it's not really a religion. But in China they want to make it s religion now.

I think it picked me. I was kinda looking since I was very young I was aware something was wrong, all my family has been Christian for centuries, so I was growing up Christian, but I could never understand the blind faith part. Why have a mind if you just gonna accept what you are told? I questioned the common "wisdom" of "God works in mysterious ways", and some of the explanations did not make any sense to me like for instance, why would perfection have a need to create at all? Lonliness, lack of entertainment, I mean what reason would perfect have to create all this you see everyday? I heard out of love that really does not make any sense at all. Create something that did not exist before therefore did not suffer at all, then if it commits a "deadly sin" condemn it to eternal suffering. Out of love, really? How does that make sense to anybody, considering the creator is infinitely wise, "merciful" (see the irony here), and loving.
Buddhism tells you to not believe in anything, demands you investigate reality, and follow it's ultimate nature. Gives control over your destiny to you, tells you , it's up to you and your effort. It's you and reality, no fairy tales. I like it that way.
