All religions have advocated violence at one point or the other. I agree with that and of course, that’s a whole other discussion, and an interesting one. However, I was merely noting the “internal” cohesiveness of the religion and its relationship to how structured is the religion. In other words in Christianity you’ve got h Catholics hating Protestants and vice versa. In Judaism you have Reform versus Orthodox. In Islam you’ve got Sunni versus Shia. All three of those religions employ a system of a hierarchy that attempts to control actions of people under them. Therefore, people rebel and you have internal strife.
