Why are some religious people so violent?
<|assistant|>
Religious violence is generally rooted in a particular interpretation of religious law, often mixed with other factors such as political or cultural affiliation. Some religions, such as Christianity and Islam, have scripture or texts that can be used to justify violent or retaliatory actions. In some cases, religious leaders may instill hatred and intolerance of other people and religions, resulting in violence against them.  In other cases, a perceived threat to one's culture, nation or community can be used to justify violent acts in the name of religion. Ultimately, religious violence is typically driven by an interpretation of faith used to justify acts of hatred and violence.
