A People with a worldview that the Earth is hostile have to create a logic that supports their worldview about why the earth is hostile. This is why the concept of Original Sin is able to stand in/as their philosophical thought.
For the perceived hostility of the earth is explained in the concept of Original Sin and therefore there is of necessity a need to propound the doctrine of "Salvation from Sin" in order to see a pleasant world which those who propound this idea regard as "Heaven".
If you think of it however, the worldview of species that grew in the harsh cold of Europe and the Scorching Sun of the Sahara desert (where two violent religions/cultures sprang up from) will be different from the worldview of the species that grew up in the rainforest of Southern Nigeria.
One is geographically placed in a region of natural scarcity while the other is placed in a region of natural abundance.
These two species' religions or philosophical worldviews will definitely be different and their instinct to compete for survival will be higher than the other.
This I suspect is the underlying factor that propels their domineering and conquest worldview. They have naturally been built to compete with harsh conditions to survive and to see those of a different worldview as a natural competition that should be eliminated or subdued for their own survival.
For the sake of humanity's survival and evolution to a higher consciousness therefore, there is need for the abundance mentality of those who grew up in the rainforest to influence the scarce mindset of those who live in those harsh conditions to create a healthy human population that will see itself as cooperators rather than competitors.
A religion that inspires violence towards another for the sake of the survival of one race should be shunned while a religion that tells us that we are inherently connected to one another should be embraced. A religious philosophy that posits that every creature is fulfilling a unique destiny, one that teaches that harm to you (or another) is harm to me (and everyone), Such religious philosophy is what the human population of the world should advance into now. This is the Ifá fundamental truth.
Indeed, when Christ shall return, it will not matter our belief in any certain Creed, it will only matter "how do you treat your neighbor?"
Note that your neighbor is every creature in the universe and not just those who look like you or speak like you or worship God like you.
I say this because a perfect world is not one which enjoys peace because there is only one way of thinking, but a world which enjoys peace because the humans living there have evolved intelligently to work in harmony in the face of differing worldviews.
