Cause ya don't have to say it in politics

For all intents and purposes you can include buddhism in that list. There certainly aren't outright calls to violence in the suttas although to be fair buddhists are not complete pacifists like the Jains (and I don't think you technically have to be vegetarian as a buddhist either). If you're going to make a category "religions of peace" I think any reasonable person would include buddhism because of it's "doctrines" and means of spiritual growth, and although Zen was the religion of the samurai and the kamikaze pilots and there are buddhists in the world who commit violent acts there is technically no justification for violence within the religion.

No one could deny that technically they were all those things, but the contemptible mob wouldn't understand. Even though imgflip users should kinda understand, but anyway I deleted it just in case it could become my downfall in ten years.

That's a good point and I did think for a second that I should make that clear. What I meant was antifa aren't competent enough to be as evil as the nazis.

Religions promote or condemn violence to various degrees. If a holy book says "kill people" and a follower kills people, it's because of his religion, but if a holy book says "don't kill people" and a follower kills people, it's because of his own dispositions or circumstances.

...and where/how does the religion encourage it? Or perhaps it's so obvious that it promotes peace that no one even has to say it.
