   There is also the possibility that religion itself can be performed in the mode   
   of ignorance (darkness). It will then lack compassion, sacrificial giving,   
   love, inclusion, tolerance, repentance of sinners; it will be dominated by   
   fear, hatred, xenophobia and hostility toward others groups and minorities,   
   ethnic and denominational extremism. Typically, such religion will be dominated   
   by materialism, claim that it is the only right way to God Creator, and also   
   uphold   
   unjust government or class of the few endowed with exploitation and   
   embezzlement as the "God appointed power."   
      
   While the apostles recommend peaceful submission to the rule of the Law   
   (Romans 13:1, yes, even Roman emperors like Nero had to show some respect to   
   the   
   Senate before the populus), the Law of Christ and the Gospel have precedence.   
   This will require civil disobedience whenever the authority is against the   
   Law of Christ, claiming that the other nation is the cause of the problem,   
   and not the sinful condition within man (or woman).   
      
   When the nation is aligned with God and Christ, peace and blessing are   
   established. True peace and prosperity come from the LORD God Creator,   
   as He blessed ancient Israel and have it peace and honour among nations   
   in the times of king Solomon (before his apostasy to foreign god worship).   
      
   Thereof, the security of the nation is not in proliferation of nuclear bombs   
   and missiles - this would create an elevated chance of such weaponry   
   reaching corrupt regimes and be sold to the terrorists.   
      
   The true peace is quietness and returning (to the LORD, Isaiah 30:15).   
      
   in the LORD   
   Amen
