Nowadays, sacred texts are not as well regarded as in the past. There are many reasons for this: some terrorists, for instance, refer to the Koran the holy book of the Islamic religion, to justify the atrocious crimes they commit, and some believe that it is the violence which these sacred texts contain which causes the chronic aggressiveness that characterizes some Muslims; some Christians campaign against the teaching of Darwin’s theory of evolution because they argue it contradicts the biblical history of Creation; the Jews argue that God promised Canaan currently, Israel to the descendants of Abraham and that this is the reason their oppressive policies against the Palestinians are legitimate. These issues have sparked a renewed interest in sacred texts which has interfered in the public life of some nations. Some secularist adversaries of religion claim that religious scriptures originate violence, sectarianism, and intolerance; furthermore, they hold that these reading materials also stop people from thinking for themselves and lead to deception. Overall, critics of religion want to know why there is so much hate in sacred texts, taking into account that religion preaches compassion; and they also question if it is possible to be a believer in the present after science has undermined so many biblical teachings.
