If you want to establish peace in a society. You should leave religion out of politics. This is a common idea among the proponents of secularism. They say that religion is a trans-cultural and trans-historical phenomenon and is inherently violent. Because it is inherently absolutist, divisive, and irrational. Political theology researcher and university professor William T. Kavanagh believes that this idea has been so pervasive and influential that no one tries it anymore. Therefore, it should be considered a kind of myth. He says that based on this myth, there will be two types of violence, religious and spiritual violence that tends to incite war and conventional rational violence that serves peace. In this book, Kavanagh says that the division of violence into religious and customary is unjustified, with a detailed analysis of the historical evidence and genealogy of the concept of religion in the modern West. Because this duality is more of a historical and cultural fake than an objective reality.
