Abstract

Jedan od najstarijih ideoloških fenomena je religijski. Od kada je čovjek počeo kritički misliti i
objašnjavati pojave oko sebe i svoje misli, problem religije postao je predmetom istraživanja.
Religija kao osnovni pokretač sukoba aktualna je tema u zadnjih nekoliko godina. Postoje mnoga
mišljenja za ovu tvrdnju i protiv ove tvrdnje. Upravo ta tvrdnja potaknula je temu ovog rada, koji
se bazira na religiji kao uzroku ratova u povijesti, ali i u suvremenom svijetu. Veliki ratovi koji
su imali religijski motiv, predmet su analize i postavljanja hipoteze u radu.
Glavni izvori za analizu znanstveni su radovi koji bolje objašnjavaju hipotezu o religiji kao
uzroku ratova. Sama definicija religije i rata, kao i njihova povezanost, predstavljaju temeljna
pitanja rada. Također, važno je naglasiti i miješanje politike i korištenje religije kao izgovora za
druge ciljeve. Kako bi se bolje objasnio utjecaj religije na ratove i odgovorilo na dana pitanja,
dan je osvrt na tri monoteističke religije koje su najrasprostranjenije u svijetu.
Ovaj rad prikazuje pogrešno poimanje religije kao uzroka ratova u današnjem svijetu i naglašava
njeno korištenje u političke svrhe.

Abstract (english)

One of the oldest ideological phenomena is of the religious nature. Ever since man began to
think critically and explain the phenomena around him and his own thoughts, the problem of
religion has become an object of research. Lot of discussion have carried out through the last
several years about religion as the primary cause of war. There are numerous arguments for and
against this assertion. This mentioned assertion served as the basis for the topic of my graduation
thesis, which examines the role of religion in the past and the present wars. The graduation thesis
analyses and proposes hypotheses about great wars with religious motivations.
The primary sources for the analysis are scientific works that provide a better explanation for the
hypothesis that religion causes wars. The definitions of religion and war, as well as their
connection, are essential to the graduation thesis. It is also important to emphasize the political
meddling and the use of religion as an excuse for other goals. In order to better explain the
influence of religion on wars and to answer the given questions, the graduation thesis focuses on
three monotheistic religions (Judaisme, Cristianity and Islam), which are the most widespread in
the world.
This graduation thesis demonstrates the misconception of religion as the cause of wars in today's
world and emphasizes its use for political purposes.
