Religion has its part in promoting violence. Many will argue that the cause of religious wars is due to economic and political reasons, but others argue that those who start wars are not, by definition, religious. In fact, separating religion from economic and political motivations may be such a feat that religious motivations are largely harmless. Apologies for the responsibilities of Christianity cannot be accepted if the person has misappropriated the message of Christ. The main set of doctrines is not Christianity, but living through the past personified the visible actions of Christians. In other words, Christianity, Islam or any other religion has no intention of exempting itself from the survey. Given certain conditions, Christianity, Islam, or any other religion can and does cause war. Charles Kimball's book When Religion Becomes Evil states: “It is somewhat trite, but nevertheless sadly true, to say that more wars have killed people, and these days more evil perpetrated in the name of religion than by any other institutional force in history human." (Kimball 1). According to Kimball, an assurance from rite to need evidence, without any attempt to support evidence. If you challenge to prove it, recognizable evidence from other institutional forces will be needed in the course of the study with a concept of religion. Before the modern era, there was a problem with religion being distinct from government institutions. In Wilfred Cantwell Smith's book, The Meaning and End of Religion, Smith suggests that people need to investigate their customs, because giving religious names fixes people's minds not to question religion over acts of violence. According to Smith, in pre-modern Europe there was no significant alternative concept to the fact that… the medium of paper… can and does cause war because different contexts such as nationalism and liberalism mix beliefs convincing its followers to think the war is the answer to their problems. Religious violence should not fall into the same category as secular violence simply because it can mislead followers; therefore, it should be avoided altogether.
