What right to live in peace? You have no right to live in peace! In fact, you probably don't deserve to live in peace. You have a right to live in a world full of violence, though. Look around. See the earth tremble and the mountains spew their anger. Watch the oceans pound and the winds roar. Fires and floods and lightning strikes rarely offer peace but if you're looking for violence, they are happy to oblige.
Then, there is man...
You want peace? Work for it! After all, peace starts with you. As long as you have an intolerant attitude towards others who have beliefs and desires different than your own, which is revealed by your denigrating words such as "fundamentalist bigots and control-freaks" and "load of archaic nonsense", peace will only be a sentiment and never will it be a reality.
Right to peace? What a joke!
No, the truth is you have an obligation to make this world a better place where the seeds of peace can be sown and nurtured...and it starts with you (not you, specifically, but each of us, collectively).
