Chinese and Japanese didn't even especially l ike each other.
If the whole world followed Buddhism, we'd all be happy working for $0.25 an hour except there wouldn't be those factory jobs if the whole world was Buddhist. We'd instead be happy working for much less in rice paddies, glad for our daily cup of rice.
Missed that confusionism in China, did you?
And were the wars created because of the belief system as they are in the abrahamic religions?
I don't think so.
confucianism is more a way of life, rather than a religion. read this;

Ah you are wasteing your time Chiel. Some will refuse to understand that those in power practiced Shintoism. Nor will they accept that the wars had nothing to do with religious ideals.
really? following Buddhism would make the world more peaceful? you mean like the Japanese have followed Buddhism for centuries? or like the Chinese have followed Buddhism for centuries?
Actually, I think you will find Shintoism in Japan during the war period.
If people actually followed Buddhism, yes it would be a peaceful world. then again if Christians followed Christianity, it would be a far less judgmental world.

Philosophically, Buddhist is very attractive. If you actually practice it as a faith - be ready to worship hundreds of gods/demi-gods and be just as wacko as the rest of them. Besides, no matter what religion you are - you would still be at war with Islam.
Buddha did not believe in God. There are virtually no historical evidence that the person even existed. All of it is man-made and no proof. Buddhism will fade away soon anyway.
Buddhist countries are scary and intolerant, same as atheism. In countries with Buddhism as a major religion, you will be persecuted for insulting their religion and its founder.
