Why do people kill for religion?

[inafaustine]

This one God, it is believed, revealed sublime values which were then disseminated by the three largest monotheistic religions. It is therefore easy to wholeheartedly support these religions for giving voice to ethical injunctions for centuries.

People kill because they want to, not because of religion, killers will always want to find a way to justify what they do and it just so happens that some of them choose religion to try to justify it which in turn tends to paint the people who practice that religion in a bad light. It's just pitiful because religion has absolutely nothing to do with their actions

Religion brings division!we are all brothers. And sister created in the image of God.but because of religion people are killing each other.this is not the way!.the god of this world has blinded the mind and soul and replace it with hatred and revenge!

People need purpose in life, which is one of the wonderful things religion brings.
Some people though, manipulate that purpose towards something malicious like war and violence.
On top of that, most religions are kind of violent because they were invented thousands of years ago,
when morals were a lot different.

Considering the ever-present challenge for human survival in a hostile world, it is understandable that religions would occasionally remain silent on the verdict of war or fail in their missions to promote peace and amity.

We are all witness of recent events, war, killings, and terrorism claiming they are doing it for their god. What do you think of this belief?

Well, they only make religion as a weapon in which they themselves do not embrace it. In my opinion, this reverses the facts and intends to intimidate believers who claim that their anarchist act is a demand.
