You've picked his most non-threatening desires. Spiritual religious belief is based on unsubstantiated assumptions and faith in another reality for which there is not one smidgeon of proof. All religions rely on the mystical and mystic belief within their self-contained systems. So, you are not an agnostic because of your understanding of the basic immorality of religions, but because you do not comprehend them? A world of "eternal peace" would be a graveyard -- another subliminal desire held by most mystics. People who show kindness usually receive it back. It is better to dream of things we can attain, like possibly virtual immortality, FTL drive and star travel, gravity control, time machines and inter-dimensional travel, than ones that basically depend on getting the entire human race in lock-step to achieve an artificial dream like "universal kindness".
