rejected.content: Some religions have historically been more likely to condone violence, either as a way to spread their beliefs or to defend themselves. Additionally, some interpretations of religious teachings can be used to justify violent acts, such as retaliation or killing enemies of the faith. In many cases, religious figures have used fear, guilt, and threat of violence to control large numbers of people, leading to the continued propagation of dangerous beliefs over centuries.
