yes builder, you are right that world functions on power, media and the followers but these are not the factors to form the basis whether God exists or not.

After reading this article, it seems that almost all the perception on religious beliefs about God is taken from the media or the so-called “followers” of respective religions. In my opinion, the best way to perceive a religion is to study the authentic books of that religion because, especially in case of religions, followers can give wrong impression of the right thing.

Yes you are right that peace lies in the people themselves and it does matter a lot whether the leader of a country is at peace or not. I also need to say that India has not been a country of that much peaceful people. Besides 1971, it attacked Pakistan in 1965 and the war continued for 17 days. Moreover, more than a million people have been killed by Indian army in "Kashmir" since 1947. Also, continually increasing number of riots in India especially riots on religious basis tell a different story about the "peaceful" people of India.
