Many people of the Abrahamic religions, specifically Christianity, have a saying: No God, No Peace, Know God, Know Peace. I cannot honestly be expected to believe that being a Christian will mean that I will know peace when all the Abrahamic cults are warring with one another.
Instead, I'm just going to assume that 'devoting oneself to the highest power' means 'selling out the the ones who won't kill you if you join them.'
Everyone has their own opinion on religion, of course, and therefore, it is impossible to create a world-wide peace when peace is agreement not to be enemies. For example, if a faith requires enemies to survive, its practitioners will continue to kill and maim and hurt others until the faith is dead or every last 'heretic' is no more than a memory.
Besides, organized religion defeats the purpose of free will, if you haven't noticed. That's why I'm the free and happy atheist that is completely stigmatized against any religion that doesn't offer the power to summon monsters based on a pact with the religion's deity.
Final Fantasy has some cool religions in it, ever hear of the Yevonites? Oh, wait, their leaders are corrupt and evil. Ever hear of the Covenant, a religious collective of alien races with one single goal? Oh, wait, that involves the total annihilation of all intelligent life in the galaxy. Star Wars has the coolest religion of all, though. May the Force be with you, always.

Get the Know God, No Peacemug. A famous video game console created by Microsoft. In its heyday, it had copious 1st and 3rd party support, in the form of game such as Halo: Combat Evolved by in-house developer Bungie Studios, and the GTA series by Rockstar Studios. This balance of developing and publishing power has earned the Xbox a reputation synonymous with socialism.
The Xbox, while having received a bad rap for being a product of Microsoft, was not unsuccessful, spawning the next system, the Xbox 360 in 2005.

Get the Xboxmug. The nickname of Master Revan from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic for Xbox and PC, given to him/her after successfully defeating Darth Malak, destroying the Star Forge, and bringing balance to the Force and justice to the galaxy. The significance of the name refers to how Revan was originally captured as a Sith Lord, brought back from the brink of death by Bastila, had his/her memory erased and rewritten, regained his/her memories of the Star Forge and of being Dark Lord of the Sith, remaining a Jedi despite the resurfacing memories, mastering the force...and so on. The point is, Revan was going to conquer the galaxy as a Sith Lord, and ended up saving it as a Jedi.
Master Vandar: We Jedi now have another tale to weave into the grand history of hour eternal Order - the Redemption of Revan, the prodigal knight.

Get the penisedmug. A Blizzard Entertainment game, from the StarCraft series that started development in 2001, with a planned release date between 2002 and 2003, but development had been placed on hiatus as of 2006.
Planned initially for the PS2 and Xbox game systems, a GameCube version was also in the works, but cancelled in 2005. The employees of Nihilistic Software, the company that was developing the game, had quit en masse due to an internal power struggle with Blizzard, and Swingin' Ape Studios was acquired by Blizzard to continue work, at which point the GCN version was dropped to concentrate on the other two versions.
The game's story was set four years after the events of StarCraft Brood War, the expansion to the original game. It was centered on the missions of the Terran Dominion Ghost Operative, Nova, who is trying to uncover the secrets behind the project Shadow Blade; aimed with using terrazine gas to transform Ghosts into shadowy superhumans known as Spectres. In her encounters, Nova uses some familiar and some new technology and abilities used by Ghosts, from cloaking, to locking down enemy robotics, to using her psionic powers to perform daring superhuman feats of strength and agility.
