Question

Explain whether you think religion is the cause of most conflict in the world? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Religions state death to apostates and want men to control women. Organized religions make it the easiest way to deceive on a big scale. Identifying with an idealogy leads to prejudice, bigotry, and violence. Persecution and discrimination because of faith can harm well-being, causing anxiety, sadness, or stress. Extremists from different sects may help a conflict exceed. The command is to kill the insulters, even if they may be family members, if revered holy people get mocked.

Answer 2

Religion is not necessarily conflictual but, as with ethnicity or race, religion serves, as a way to distinguish one's self and one's group from the other. Often, the group with less power, be it political or economic, is more aware of the tension than the privileged.
