Let's agree to disagree
This seems easy enough. At least according to Ramdas Lamb, a religions professor at the University of Hawaii.
If we all let our doctrinal differences be as they may, focusing instead on more pressing and realistic needs, Lamb thinks the world will be a better place.
However, this solution might not be so easy. The religions that cause the most stir, fundamental Christianity and fundamental Islam, revolve around doctrinal distinctions. They are also inherently proslytizing religions. To tell a Christian or Muslim to stop caring about Theology and stop making other people agree is essentially telling them to give up their faith.
Peaceful coexistence is death for fundamentals.
