520 |a The contemporary society, despite its great achievements in the area of human development, remains increasingly menaced by the syndrome of religious intolerance and religious violence. Many theories may continue to be propounded for this syndrome, but all of them gravitate around the fact of human abuse of religion expressed in the perversion of the real purpose of religion. This essay argues that one of the fundamental causes of religious violence is the misguided religious consciousness that makes it difficult for people to reason properly on the common challenges of our common humanity. Incidentally, both the biblical and African approaches to religion can each be interpreted as having a basic humanistic orientation. This becomes a challenge to African theology as it faces the prevailing religious consciousness on the continent in search of genuine humanism and authentic African development.
