Marco Di Lauro through this photographic project, borns from a selection of some photos taken during his many travels on war territories, invites us to reflect on the explicit bond between war and religion.

On your site you have several photo collections, one of them is “war and religion”.

I believe that in the end there is a kind of religion in every war because of the way it is fought.

Religion itself is often the reason why war begins. Religion is a very powerful tool for wielding control over people and thanks to this people can be directed towards the goals desired by religious leaders or whoever. During my career I have got to know various places steeped in religion, including Italy, but I must say that my judgment is very negative.

I must also admit that on our continent there is a strong naivety about how other religions and cultures, different to ours, are seen.
