There was a documentary about it:

Yes. We do. I'm guessing you didn't watch the video, which doesn't deal with religion btw, just conflicts and war, so I will show you charts here.
This chart shows deaths in wars by millions since 1950
This chart shows the increase in world population, which is going against the trend in deaths in war
If war was getting worse, these two charts should be in line with each other or at the very least, maintain their respective ratios. Instead what we see that as population increases, deaths by war go down, meaning the percentage of people dying directly because of a war is declining.
The following maps show conflicts that were ongoing in the years 2013-2014.
This is a map of countries that have had conflicts that led to the death of more than 10,000 people.
This is a map of countries in orange where there were conflicts that killed more than 1,000 people
This is a map of countries in lighter orance where there were conflicts that killed more than 100 people
A lot of conflicts had to do with colonial rule or taking back control from another country who had usurped the rule for an area.
This is a map from 1845 of areas that were under colonial rule
This is a map of today of areas that are under colonial rule today
Having countries govern themselves takes away a lot of tension and potential for conflict. Additionally, most wars of the 19th and 20th century were fought for resources, including land. However, nowadays, it's more profitable for countries to negotiate trade deals instead of entering into wars over resources.
If you still don't believe that we live in the most peaceful period in human history, you can check these non-partisan, non-religious links to studies into the subject.
