Chances are it is almost certainly true that both the Bible and Koran, and any old work from that far back (especially ones which command so much power from the sheeple) have been modified and changed over the centuries to suit the power base of those using said works to get what they want. It'd be naive to buttume that either work is even close to identical to the original works.
People should all convert to the religion of the Drunken Jedi, that's one religion that does not have verses about dissolutioning other people because they are different (luckily both the Christians and Muslims for the most part ignore those particular verses in their holy books). In fact Drunken Jedi doesn't have verses at all, it merely requires that everyone get along despite differences and have a beer together (although the alcohol ain't an absolute requirement, just the atbreastude of joviality that comes from a good peeup).
Of course there is a "dark side" that must be fought against, the far-left and far-right loons that just want to hate for no reason, the religious extremists that just want to hate for no reason, in fact any no-lifer that just wants to hate people for no reason, and the road to the darkside is paved with paranoia. And although there is no belief of life after rest or afterlife (we just turn into maggot food and "cease"), there is belief of hell, and that is what exists in the minds of those who follow the dark side, and through their actions what they inflict upon the Earth.
