* Religion is as old as humanity: Fields of Blood goes back to the Stone Age hunter-gatherers and traces religion through the centuries, from medieval crusaders to modern-day jihadists.

* The West today has a warped concept of religion: we regard faith as a personal and private matter, but for most of history faith has informed peoples entire outlook on life, and often been inseparable from politics.

* Humans undoubtedly have a natural propensity for aggression: the founders of the largest religions  Jesus, Buddha, the rabbis of early Judaism, the prophet Muhammad  aimed to curb violence and build a more peaceful and just society, but with our growing greed for money and wealth came collective violence and warfare.
