Abstract

A lot of media, these days, broadcast some unrests and even conflicts between religious groups. The latest conflict between Muslims and Christians occurred in Tolikara, Papua on the day of Eid in 2015. The conflict caused a lot of injured, some even died. Several kiosks and worship places were burned. Besides, disputes often occur in one religion, such as competition among the Evangelical Churches in Indonesia (GIDI). Among Muslims, some disputes are also often reported their conflict between Sunni and Shia, even with the Islamic worshipers. Those are some examples of religious conflicts. Some questions arise: why does the religious conflict frequently occur? Can a religion be a source of conflict? All religions teach to live in peace and uphold tolerance. Why do people often dispute in the name of religion? Is it because the conflict of religion is easily to provoke. As a result to this, as religious issues are sensitive, it is quite often that the social conflict, politics and economics are drawn to the area of ??religion, in order to get more support from its followers. This paper will discuss how people understand a religion, why those religious conflicts often occur and what the role of religion in society is.
