Wenchy, just having a rule ("The nice thing about being a pagan is that we only have one hard and fast rule pertaining to not doing harm to others") does not mean people will live by it. The Christians have a "Thou shall not kill" rule, it did not stop the crusades, and the Muslim religion has a similar rule which did not stop 9/11. The only way you can claim that your followers do no harm is if you have a policy of brainwashing your followers. And even then it won't stop the violence. Because even if your religion were to brainwash it's followers, that does not stop followers of a different religion from beating the shit out of your followers for worshipping trees in "the wrong way", it just makes your followers easier to kill.
