From religious massacres to Nazism to ethnic cleansing, a Harvard scholar uses historical comparison to investigate why groups of people kill and torture each other. His provocative conclusion is that monotheism--with its monopoly on virtue and failure to provide supernatural scapegoats--is responsible for some of the most virulent forms of intolerance.
