What do those groups all have in common? They're all driven by religion, correct? How's global violence supposed to decrease if there's a vast amount of people that believe that it is inevitably going to increase because the bible tells them so?

It amazes me that you actually believe what you are saying. Must be quite the shame to waste what's possibly the one life that you'll ever experience by waiting for something that may never occur.

If you believe in Resurrection then you believe in Rapture - It's the same event just two different words defining two different groups of people.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (KJV)
16.....and the dead in Christ shall rise first......THIS IS RESURRECTION.
17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. THIS IS RAPTURE.
Dead people don't get raptured, there "resurrected" - alive folk can't be resurrected - they are "raptured".

It's amazing how this is even up for debate in Christian circles.
