L·
he myth of religious violence is that religion
is endemic to all human cultures and eras, and
is prone to absolutism, divisiveness, and irratio¬
nality. Religion must therefore be separated
from secular phenomena like politics for the
sake of peace. The secular nation-state appears
natural; it corresponds to a universal and time¬
less truth about the dangers of religion.
William T. Cavanaugh argues that this is a
piece of Western folklore underwriting West¬
ern violence. Through a thorough genealogy of
the concept, Cavanaugh shows that religion is
not a universal and transhistorical phenom¬
enon. Religious/secular and religious/political
distinctions are modern Western inventions.
Cavanaugh shows that what counts as religion
and what counts as secular in any context cor¬
responds to how power is arranged, both in
the West and in lands colonized by the West.
The myth of religious violence helps create and
marginalize a religious other, prone to fanati¬
cism, to contrast with the rational, peacemak¬
ing secular subject. Within the West, the
myth underwrites the triumph of the emergent
state over the church in the early modern
period and the nation-state s subsequent
monopoly on its citizens willingness to sacri¬
fice and kill. Outside the West, the myth of
religious violence reinforces the superiority of
Western social orders to nonsecular
—
espe¬
cially Muslim
—
social orders. Their violence is
seen as fanatical; our violence is justified as a
rational means to peacemaking.
Examining academic, government, and jour¬
nalistic sources, Cavanaugh shows how this
myth is used to justify American diplomatic
and military actions, including the recent Iraq
War. Peace, argues Cavanaugh, depends on a
balanced view of violence, and recognition that
so-called secular ideologies and institutions
can be just as prone to absolutism, divisiveness,
and irrationality.
