The mother of all conflict, the World War 2 which leveled Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the rest of the world in 3 continents was not fought on religious grounds.
Ignorance, bigotry and prejudice is the cause of all hatred. Insincere people whose main aim is greed and power uses hatred on the ignorant and the bigoted to divide and confuse and eventually conquer.
Hatred is merely a necessary tool to accomplish ones' selfish goal. I think by now everybody should just grow up and realise the naivete of it all.

No. That's just the excuse people use to be hateful and bring chaos instead of love and peace. People bring pain to other people! That's the cause of hatred and confusion in the human race. Humans. If we could only take them out of the equation, we'd do much better.

No, I believe evil is caused by narcissism, prejudice and ignorance. People have the capacity to believe that their ideas, beliefs, culture, etc. are better than everyone else's. People also have the ability to deindividualise groups - causing stereotypes and prejudism. We ignore the fact that any group of people is made up of individuals. Thus, Christians, Jews, Americans, women are all human beings with many individual characteristics, the combination unique to that individual, but we can often focus on one of these characteristics. Ignorance and the lack of desire to learn about others also fuels this narcissistic prejudice. This explanation, I believe, explains all forms of hate: racism, sexism, zenophobia, ageism and so on.
Confusion is caused generally by ignorance, either by the person trying to understand, or the source of the confusion. For example, poor spelling causes confusion, but has nothing to do with religion.

Not the cause as even athiests can have hatred and confusion against other athiests. But it is one of the causes because spiritual leaders do not apply scriptures properly and have their own political agendas. Men have gone to war even against their own spiritual brothers because of their country and their religious leaders go so far as to bless them even on both sides of the fight.
Religion is not always the cause as patriotism is even more the cause.
The bible doesn't condone any of this as true Christians are peaceable and love their enemies and remember that in all nations even in the enemy nation their brothers are doing the same and refrain from fleshly wars. The brothers in enemy countries can be thrown into prison or concentration camps because of their stand to refuse to fight. They obey God as ruler rather than men. Acts 5:29

religion has nothing to do with hatred and confusion of human race because religion means grouping one another to study and believe the existence of GOD

regrettably, sure, faith often is the right of humanity. The predominate religions we've all carry forth absolutism, believing contained in the compelled conversions of something else of the international. having said that, i believe the human nature is to denounce others' religions with the intention to validate one's personal, even although there is not any human being authentic church of God, inspite of the actuality that if one knows this. till the completed international falls lower than one faith or everyone turns atheist (and that i do not see both of those happening) and as long as mankind keeps to construct larger and extra sensible guns of mass destruction (like the nuke for instance, and the inevitable anti-remember bomb coming in the subsequent few centuries) mankind will in all probability blow himself to smithereens. unhappy, yet in all probability.

I wouldn't say that it is the religion it is the people who call themselves the leaders of it. Instead of teaching and using the tools that were given for that purpose they add their own views and opinions to it and putting it out there as so called "right" because it is what they believe. Thus making things confusing and at times violent.

I believe that people are the cause of hatred and cofusion. Whether you are religious or not- you can still hate other people or be confused by them. I dont blame religion at all. Guns dont kill people- people kill people. Same thing.

Yes we as humans should not be fighting over a religion but should embrace spirituality. I heard a wise man say that "no one ever started a war over spirituality" but wars are fought all the time over religion so you tell me which one would you chose?

Religion is just a false pride like sexism, nationalism, and racism. It stems
from lack of a self-respect. People pushing others around, and childish
inability to deal with it, and "kids" have to make fun of others.
It's the immature inability of the majority of humans to grow out of this,
and their stupid remarks they make , that create hate!
