What is the significance of communal conflicts in the name of religion?

Communal conflicts in the name of religion reveal our enduring madness and the misuse of the sacred; true progress lies in the courage to question and awaken from our collective delusions.

— Osho
According to Osho, communal conflicts in the name of religion are not a problem of "these days" but a timeless expression of human unconsciousness. Even in so-called golden ages, religion justified extreme inhumanity. Their significance is to expose our persistent madness and the misuse of sacred labels. The real progress today is the courage to question; dropping era-myths and becoming aware is the only way to end such follies.

These fights aren’t new—they show people misusing religion because they aren’t awake, and the way out is to question and become more aware.
