About This Quote

Religion has often been a source of division and intolerance in the world. People who follow a particular religion, like Christianity or Islam, often see other people as “others” and cannot accept others' beliefs and traditions even if their own religions share many similarities with those of other religions. This creates tensions and can lead to violence.
