I am an agnostic but the way Tolstoy shows the futility of War by reference to the most important teaching of all religions that one should not take another human life and treat others the way one wants to be treated is utmost rational and sensible. He invites everyone to think of their own purpose in life and that purpose can certainly not be to go to a mindless war and get blood on their hands. Really liked it for its sensible teaching.
