| Summary: | A critical examination of the role of religion in engendering societal peace and development, with particular attention to the Nigerian nation is undertaken to highlight the necessary dimensions of a peaceful religious co-existence.

When sociologically considered, religion is a complicated cultural state of affairs which is constituted by cult (rituals and worship), a doctrine, and an institutional organisation. The doctrinal aspect of a given religion is equally difficult to determine, for it consists of a complex and extensive system of beliefs, which are developed throughout the ages by generations of believers. |
