There does seem to be a correlation between certain religious beliefs and a society's propensity for violence.

- azifali 8y agoDon't exactly agree on that assertion. History shows that one can make that argument about a lot of religions. It is more so to do with the geopolitical ambitions of nation states at respective times. In the modern era - many nation states have fallen behind on a lot of indicators - human development index, scientific innovation, education etc., and all of them directly / indirectly contribute to instability.
- yters 8y agoYou are saying if we normalize across indicators the correlation disappears?

- danharaj 8y agoGeography is the most obvious confounding factor ツ
- yters 8y agoAre all religious groups in that geographical region equally violent? My impression is no.
