In most modern societies, persecution based on religion is seen as anything from a minor to major human rights abuse. Many religious people see other religions as a threat to them, or as false. In many cases religious people actually believe they are helping others to move away from what they consider to false beliefs. There are many reasons for why this sort of persecution has taken place in the past, but most boil down to fear that one idea will overshadow or threaten another in some way.

Religions may persecute one another due to differences in beliefs, values, or practices. Historically, competition for power and influence has also played a role in religious persecution. Misunderstanding or fear of the unknown can further fuel inter-religious conflicts.
