Concept information
Preferred term
religion and conflict
Definition
- Conflict and religion both are ubiquitous social processes, but at first they may appear to be autonomous, even contradictory, social processes: Conflict presumes division, distress, and discord; religion presumes cohesion, tranquility, and peace. However, conflict can also be integrative and religion can move actors to challenge and overturn the social and political order. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Problems; Religion and Conflict]
