What role does religion play in conflict resolution?

We often hear about religion causing conflicts, but can it also be a tool for peace? What examples have you seen where faith played a part in resolving issues?

Such an important point—religion often gets framed as the cause of conflict, but it can also be a powerful force for reconciliation. Think of the role of Desmond Tutu in post-apartheid South Africa or interfaith dialogues in places like Northern Ireland. Faith can bring people together when it's grounded in compassion and understanding.
