No it's not and never was. Jedi is about using the force to accomplish one's will in the world.
Honestly it's probably the closest thing we have in this world to a religion that could have a plausible scientific basis, since it's recognizing that the energy is without, but the control is within. Also midichlorians could just as easily be an ancient nano-tech that spread across the universe to become ubiquitous in the environment. Since it's the mental control of midichlorians that gives one control over the force and without them "The force would not exist".

If you want a religion about peace you need to look to Islam, Christianity and every other major religion.
