Do the social problems caused by religion stem from personal religious belief, from organized religious activity, or both?

Social problems caused by religion are from personal religious beliefs being taken too far by people and the organized religious activity that supports/encourages the personal beliefs. One feeds off of the other. So both.

Personal religious belief tends to lean to how the person interprets the Scripture in Christianity. Baby Christians that do not know the Word of God or have not studied the Word of God often mislead. They do not intentionally do it, but they do.

I think it depends on where you happen to live. If you are referring to the US I don't think it is either. I think for the most part people would leave each other to their own devices. It's the law suits and media that cause all the problems.

Social problems are caused by peoples sin, not God nor the church. You have it backwards.
