Play Download media
Are some religions with their doctrines and practices more apt to inspire hatred and violence than others? Are the people who commit horrible acts in the name of their faith carrying out or corrupting the true message of their religion? What sorts of people are most prone to religious extremism? Social psychologist Dr. Neil Kressel draws on modern examples from Christianity and Islam to explore the psychology of fanatics and the dangers they pose to themselves, believers and non-believers.
