ABSTRACT

This essay presents a sketch of the concept of happiness alternative approach to the study of possible links between religion and violence. Unlike 20th century’s mainstream sociologists’ prediction, religion has not been lodging itself into the privacy of worshiper’s hearts, but emerged as an important player on the national and international scene. The contemporary resurgence of religion seems to go hand in hand with the resurgence of ‘religiously legitimized violence.’ Mark Juergensmeyer epitomizes these violent aspects of religion as gods have mainly terror on their mind. In this essay, Mark Juergensmeyr’s view on religion and violence will be contested.
