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 Peace mug.With own interpretation, No God, Know Peace is saying that with no god then the world would know peace. Almost all wars have the root of religion causing violence so God is really just standing in the way.

Get the Let's play fortnite after school sheesh bussin bussin you know you vibes no kizzy sheesh on god š© mug.Hym "YET, still, here I am. My rights still being violated. My head still failing to drain the fluid through my lymphatic system. My bank account, empty. As my life's work has been stolen by billionaires. Waiting (patiently) for the warm glow of liberal morality to touch my life. And, while I wait, Palestinians die because you just NEED to take a hard line on Anti-Semitism. Our freedom of speech infringed upon because you need a nebulous subcategory of speech to which our rights do not apply and thus, the Anti-Semitism law. If you can do it, they can do it, so they did it and now our rights are diminished and it's entirely your fault. So, knowing better than God doesn't really amount to much."
