Summary/Abstract: With regret, we note that in the 21st century the culture of peace is a desirable reality. Desirable because today's global engagements, which have accumulated energies of common intent, show us that they fail to stabilize certain poles of conflict in the harmony of peace. Quite simply, religious conflict, whatever the reasons or motives behind it, is present in the world. This study provides an overview of the current situation of religious conflicts and terrorist attacks in the world based on data from Religion and Armed Conflict (RELAC) and the European Union Terrorism Situation and Trend Report (TE-SAT), with an indication of the particular elements involved in the process of generating, carrying out and possibly resolving them. Tangentially, although necessary for such a study, we will attempt an answer to the question: is interreligious dialogue a concrete solution to minimize the religious conflicts?
