About this episode
The episode discusses the true causes of war, challenging the notion that religion is the primary factor.
Meic Pearse's book The Gods of War gives great insight into the charge that religion is the cause of most war. History shows this is not true: the cause of most war is the sinful human heart, even when religion is invoked as a reason. Transcript: https://probe.org/the-causes-of-war/
