Religious Proselytism and the Illusion World Peace: The Disservice of World Religions

In: Journal of religion and human relations: JORAHR, Band 13, Heft 1, S. 208-249

Abstract

This work is constructed on the hypothesis that religious proselytism is the tool in the hands of the three major monotheistic religions with which they canvass/campaign for membership recruitment. It identifies and explores different modes which proselytism has taken among the practitioners of the religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam and understands proselytism as the source and cause of a world divided along religious lines and which may not be healed if that practice persists. The work adopts the methods of analysis of written data and focus on groups.
