Essay / Religious fanaticism: whose fault is it? - 1320
In the modern world there are many freedoms, rights and freedoms. The United States Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, assembly, and more (U.S. Constitution). And of course, that includes freedom of religion. There are three main branches of monotheistic religions today: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Everyone is free to choose the religion that suits them best, based on their culture, values, beliefs and homeland. And they do. Since the creation of the world, people have been searching for an explanation for different things around us, from natural phenomena to miracles. People must follow someone and believe that there is a Higher Power leading them. Because everywhere people look, everything has a leader, a leader: a family, a school, a city, a country. Moreover, there is an inventor and a creator for everything. So someone had to create, if not everything, but a starting point and help the world develop. This is a theory of intelligent design, which states that evolution occurs, but it is directed by someone known. People need to have something that unites them. This is essentially the purpose of a religion. But the problem is that every religious organization considers itself the best and most righteous. Religious wars and conflicts involve millions of people throughout history, even against their own will. Some religious groups tried their best to establish their religious rules in different states and forced people to obey those rules (Judd 266). But also one of the problems these days is that if there is one denomination of a religion that is doing something wrong, people start to accept the religion as a whole as wrong, they...... in the middle of a paper ......igious country. And here's the point; How can such a religious country be so violent? Someone may think that religion allows it. this is not an attempt to offend Christianity or the United States, because they are great and amazing. It is simply an attempt to understand how different people perceive different people. Works Cited Judd, Daniel K.
