CORREIA, Carlos João. Religion and violence: an ambivalent relationship. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2021, vol.26, e021047.  Epub Feb 10, 2024. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v26.e021047.

In this paper, we sustain the thesis that there is a violent aspect in the religious attitude. However, it is also true – as paradoxical as it might sound – that religion has been the privileged field to limit all kinds of violence in human societies.

Keywords : Religion; Violence; Sacrifice; Frazer; Girard; Eliade.
