No. Christianity waited for a hundred + years or so and bought one that was already established.
Then they went and canibalized themselves over official doctrine.
BTW: Paul wasn't exactly a pacifist. Considering most christians put more emphasis on his writings than Jesus'....
I'll agree that a purely Jesus centered Christianity is a superior, peaceful religion. But there are hardly, any 'christians' on earth (and hardly ever were). Most are 'Paulstians' with a side order of Christ.
