No, what most of them do is say "Thou shalt not murder", and then create a\ long laundry list of Killing Things That Are Not Murder. Jain and some Buddhist sects take it seriously enough to require their adherents to be vegetarian. And this Jesus dude was rambling on a hillside in Matthew 5: 38: Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. But no, other than that, I think you're right. No religions forbid killing...
