This book considers why, in the modern world, religion attracts violent adherents and what the outcomes have been and might continue to be. It shows that this is a phenomenon experienced by many religions across the globe. The first part of the book has chapters on violence by those who claim to be acting for Christianity, Zionism, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Islam. The second part deals with the logic of religious violence and how it might be countered.
