God's Warriors - Religious Violence and the Global Crisis of Secularism

God''s Warriors challenges the assumption that most religious violence stems from marginalized groups, contending instead that dominant and privileged religious majorities are the primary source. As countries have developed alliances between historically and culturally dominant religious communities and the state, they have emboldened extremists from privileged religious communities to attack minorities. This has produced a "paradox of privilege," which today afflicts all the major religious traditions around the world.
