I would say probably about the same, but with the media access today it makes it seem much worse. As long as there is religion people will continue to kill and die for it.

I'd say it hasn't gotten any worse in the past couple millinia ; religion has always been a tense topic that has been central to wars and political oppression throughout the world. At least today, there are many countries that at least claim to be completely religiously tolerant. And religious toleration is seen as a good thing by a lot of people.

I think there is less tension now because while there are fervent believers in all faiths around the world, I think percentage wise there are more moderates today than there were in those same faiths in the past. I credit that to more knowledge.
As time passes there will be more moderates and the moderates will eventually evolve towards agnosticism
Good question btw

Seems like its worse. Less tolerance. Muslims seem to think all Christians are sinners, Christians seem to think all Muslims are violent terrorists. Even the Pope said all churches but the Catholic Church were a waste of time. No respect, no tolerance, all the goodness that all religions have to teach is being ignored and only the human weakness of hatred is being preached. Too bad.

There is no difference in tensions!
But back then, people got killed at a drop of a hat, and that was a daily occurrence.
But now a days, you can go to jail for a hate crime if you so much AS TOUCH SOMEBODY OF A DIFFERENT RACE, CREED OR RELIGION.
Hell of a crazy world we now live in, ahhy!

2000 yrs ago: no monotheism, religious atmosphere peaceful. Humans killed for ego and property not God and Faith.
200: The sects within religions fight. Christian protestants vs. Christian catholics
50: the seeds are sown for inter-religious warfare
today: religion is considered the center of the world's problems.

Its much greater nowadays for we are in the times of instant communications. Chop off someones head in the name of your god and the whole world know in minutes. A thousand years ago people wern't killed thousands in one blow.
We are high tech now.
