Is Religion the Cause of Most Wars?

Religion is the main cause of wars, isn’t it? Some atheists certainly claim so. “Look at Israel/Palestine, Northern Ireland, ISIS, 911!” they say. In episode 34 of the SHORT/ANSWERS video series, I ask whether it’s true or not and explore an alternative solution that could get to the real heart of the problem.

The SHORT/ANSWERS video series is an initiative of the Solas Centre for Public Christianity — check out the amazing new book they have just published.

Dr. Andy Bannister is a popular speaker, author and broadcaster. Andy is the Director of Solas, an organisation that helps people think about the big questions of life.
