Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: a B1 learner who knows 'religion', the preposition 'of', and 'peace' will readily infer a religion characterized by peace or non-violence. The noun-of-noun pattern is a common and transparent modifier structure cross-linguistically, so the intended basic meaning is predictable despite possible pragmatic or political uses in discourse.
Etymology
The phrase religion of peace probably comes from the simple image of a religion that shows peace: people praying together and helping each other instead of fighting. So, calling a faith a religion of peace means 'a religion that teaches no violence and aims for harmony'.
