I'm not sure how realistic this is, but what would the world be like if the monotheistic religions Christianity and Islam, like Judaism, did not encourage forced proselytism and were a lot more tolerant? Say, their scriptures were interpreted early on in a way that they would not to kill or fight in the name of their God. Could we even have all these Monotheistic faiths have an attitude similar to that of say, Buddhism, where it is "other faiths are just a different way of knowing God and we don't force our beliefs on them" instead of "kill the infidels" .
Could we have a world where Christians, Jews and Muslims get along just fine, co-existing and tolerating each other. No crusades, holy wars etc. I mean there'd be still wars, but no holy ones.
Is this implausible? or even ASB (considering what the world is like now)?
