I will say the world is at peace because of idol worship and idolatry.
What does this mean? Let us say the case of India where there are temples in every town and village. Perhaps in every home of a practicing Hindu. Even Christians must have cross or Jesus idols in their homes. Now, due to this what happens is that the peoples energy is getting diverted. It is getting channeled in a direction. They know a deity exists and so many rituals have to be followed to keep that 'deity satisfied'. A whole 'stream of people' regularly make a beeline towards that deity.
In a situation like that, the people think of 'constructive things'. They do not think of 'destroying' anything.
A deity will ask for flowers, sweets, coconuts, fruits, incense sticks and the like. So people make effort to procure the same. They make a point to become clean and then take their family members like, sons, daughters and parents, etc and visit that temple where the deity is located.
Again they may save funds and make a trip once a while in car or bus or train or plane.
They may do hotel bookings and get the urge to travel for the same. Their all efforts are directed in such kind of 'constructive efforts'. In a situation like that they will not get the thoughts of causing harm to others whether it be people of another locality (mohalla), another religion (dharam), another caste (jati) or another country (mulk or desh).
Thus the world is saved. There is less death and destruction in the world. People do not constantly think of people who are unlike them who need to be 'eliminated'. Attacks and revenge attacks are thus reduced if not avoided.
If people are allowed to carry on their normal practices then there will be peace. One should not force anything in this world. This disturbs the delicate equilibrium in which the world exists.
Idolatry is for real and so are the food practices of people. No one and I repeat no one including the most corrupt or most Facist Govt. should try to ban food which provides energy to people. If one thinks an idol deserves so much, then living/ breathing people deserve more. They need food which they eat whether that be beef or Maggi.
I will say in abroad (in West) also idolatry exists, though they may deny it. All the rockstars and popstars and Hollywood stars and WWE Superstars are like 'idols'. People constantly make a beeline for them and to see them and to feel them.
