New data from the Pew Research Center shows religious violence is
on the rise world-wide. Religiously motivated sectarian violence,
harassment of women, mob-violence and terrorism have increased
steadily and dramatically over the past 7 years in every region
except the Americas. Still, many of these conflicts erupt in areas
plagued by disputes over land and political control, so is religion
really to blame? For this episode we review empirical research that
attempts to understand the role religion and politics play in
global religious conflicts. Also on this episode: What the hell is
going on in Philosophy of Religion departments? While only 12% of
philosophers accept or lean towards theism, 72% of philosophers who
specialize in Philosophy of Religion are theists. Of course, both
theists and atheists can find self-serving interpretations of this
disconnect, but what is really going on? In trying to answer this
question we examine research and educated opinions of those who
work in the field.
