"You should be nice to people"
How does this need proof? Something like Buddhism isn't saying "this is how the world is" more like "these attitudes might be helpful to you" - there is nothing there to prove.
Of course if you think that a gigantic sky daddy wants you to invade a country because the man on TV said so, then perhaps you should reassess some things.

    Buddhism isn't a religion as there is no deity to worship. Isn't it more a philosophy?

    Yeah, its a sliding scale. I suppose tax status is a simple line to differentiate between a philosophy & religion.

    Vast majority? Christianity and Islam combined make up about 66% of the religious population. Which other religions have a sizeable amount of people and conduct crusades?

    I hate to break it to you, but those 66% are conducting crusades... Just look at all the fucking brainless Christogooners celebrating the war on Iran...

    No, not all Christians/Islamists are bad, but their religions are.

    Ah, so you just don't know what ‘vast majority’ means, and think you can use words willy-nilly.
