Abstract
This chapter considers the notion that religion often serves as an independent source of conflict. It suggests that religion does not serve as a rhetorical screen for violent antipathies spawned by oppression, deprivation, the memory of colonialism, or a deep sense of humiliation—not to mention very specific complaints. The coexistence of religion and politics forms a mode of pluralism that implies horizontal rather than hierarchical relations, not only between political and religious authority claims but also among faith communities. Pluralism is bound to leave both theocrats and civic totalists dissatisfied, but nevertheless, it holds out the hope of reducing coercion to manageable minimum. The problem of religiously related violence can be addressed best not through secularism but rather through institutionalized pluralism. The chapter looks into three case studies in order to demonstrate the relationship of pluralism and religious violence: the transformation of Catholicism, claims of politics and claims of faith in Judaism, and pluralism and violence in traditionalist Islam.
