All humans have disputes on numerous topics. The reason that religious groups fight so much is because they strongly believe in their religions, do not want others to have different beliefs/ spread their "wrong" beliefs, and are wiling to fight for their own beliefs. Religion is a highly important part of every culture, and often times is a very important (if not most important) part of people's lives. It is only natural to stand up for what you believe in- unfortunately, some religious groups decide to show their dedication by fighting. In some religions, fighting "holy wars" against those who do not share your beliefs is an obligation and honor.

In sum, religious groups do not accept others' beliefs and show their disagreement by fighting.

What is the difference between religious education and bile knowledge?

Religious education is what a person learns in churches or religious institutions. Bile knowledge is knowledge about the secretions of the liver. They are pretty much the same thing.


What is the importance of secularism in a multi-religious country?

Secularism is important in a multi-religious country as it ensures equality and neutrality towards all religions. It helps to protect religious freedom, prevent discrimination, and maintain social harmony by separating state institutions from religious influence. Secularism allows people of diverse beliefs to coexist peacefully without any particular religion dominating or infringing on the rights of others.


Are the Shakers the only religious group able to establish a lasting Uptopian community?

Did even the Shakers achieve that? To the extent which Shakers achieved it, which is to say to the extent which some small set of fervent believers band together to create a community which they largely believe is following principles they all believe, well that kind of thing (whether you call it a cult or a community) happens all over the place. Consider monastic orders such as the Benedictines, which have existed for hundreds of years. Everyone's utopia is different, but you can find small groups close enough to agreement to make it work, sometimes for much longer than Shakers.


What were the struggles the puritans faced?

in England, they faced persecution from the church. when they moved to the new world, they faced all the same problems that early American settlers faced: lack of food, hard living conditions, threat of attack from Indian groups, harsh winters, being cut off from most other people. they actually did much better than most other American colonists, though. they were determined to show the world what a true christian society would look like, and they planned their move to America much better than most groups of early colonists.


Is Zionism a secular form of judaism or a religious form or both?

Although Zionism is a Jewish phenomenon, it does not claim to be a form of Judaism. Rather, it is an emotional, political and practical entity within much of the Jewish people, but by no means all of them. There are both religious and secular Zionists in large numbers.Many Orthodox Jews feel that Zionism has attempted to replace the religious core of Judaism with secular values plus watered-down Judaism.

What are some places that people are frighting because of religious differences?

The most obvious place where this is happening is Israel/Palestine, where Jewish-Islamic fighting has been going on since the mid-40s. An alternate place might be Northern Ireland, where Protestant and Catholic groups have been fighting for about the same amount of time in what's locally known as 'the Troubles'. The violence there has died down considerably since the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, although there's still not much love lost between the two sides.

Why have the borders drawn under the agreement caused so much trouble in the middle east?

The borders delineated by the implementation of Sykes-Picot were not reflective of the actual ethnic and religious groups on the ground. Some groups were split between different states, like the Kurds, between French Syria, British Iraq, and Turkey, and some groups were pushed together unnaturally into states like Syria, which houses Alawites, Sunni Muslims, Druze, Christians, and Ismaili Shiite Muslims.


What is the difference between religious antisemitism and political antisemitism?

The usual disintinction is between (traditional) religious antisemitism and racial antisemitism. The latter arose after religious toleration was accepted in most European countries and religious antisemitism lost much of its force. Racial antisemitism arose from about 1870 onwards and operates with conspiracy theories.

Whats the difference between a non-fighting dog and fighting dog?

A fighting dog (e.g. Pit bull, bull terrier, staffie, Rottweiler) are only fighting dogs if they are trained to fight. If they haven't been trained, they would be as gentle as a pug. Anyway, the physical difference is that, a fighting dog has more muscles and is much stronger. Most of the dogs listed above have been bred just for fighting, so are much more muscular than other dogs and have broader shoulders.


Who is Islam in conflict with?

Islam is a faith, not a person, and it makes no sense to ask what a faith is in conflict with. Certain groups of Muslims are in conflict with different groups (sometimes for religious reasons, sometimes for political reasons, sometimes for economic reasons), but that is pretty much true of any faith.
