Among all the causes of conflict in the world, one of the most
frequent is religion. For some inexplicable reason, many humans cannot
tolerate that other humans have different religious beliefs than their
own. In many cases it begins by suspicions of peoples with different
beliefs, develops into hatred and finally ends in open armed conflict.
In spite of their having been great souls who have come to preach
religions to us, religions have very much been based on understanding,
and interpretations, of the teachings by individuals and groups of
individuals. Hence we even have different groups claiming to be 'true'
followers of certain religious leaders while dismissing all others as
heretics. Again, it points out that religion is an individual belief.
