In the video, Tarusarira answers questions such as: ‘Is religion one of the causes of violence? Why is religion currently often used to justify violence? And what happens when it turns out there is no religious cause, as with the recent attack in Las Vegas? How can religion help to bring about peace, and what would its role then be exactly?
