While some would argue that all religions are the same, others would point out that different religions have different philosophies and can cause tension between them. God Is Not One examines this tension through the idea of 'rival religions' - referring to how these traditions compete with each other for followers and territory, even though they hold many beliefs in common. Stephen Prothero traces how divisions between these various faiths has led to violence, persecution, and even genocide across the globe.
