Negative side of organized religion

Reference no: EM13520689

In trying to understand the negative side of organized religion, some people have argued that religious violence is carried out when people misuse or misinterpret their religion. Others, however, argue that the widespread nature of religious violence suggests that religion itself may be the problem. Which view do you find more convincing? Why? How does the treatment of indigenous peoples by more dominant religions and cultures illustrate the negative side of religions?
