If the followers of Gandhi used force in his name then can we claim that Gandhism is violent per se? Likewise, can we attribute the violence perpetrated by Christians to Christianity?

I would like to share a book I recently bought, it's called "The Devil's Delusion" by David Berlinski. It attempts to refute the arguments put forth by proponents of atheism, including the claim that religions have a destructive influence on humanity. It is mainly a response to Richard Dawkin's "The God Delusion". The author is also a leading critic of evolutionary theory.

There is an online copy here:

And here is an interview with the author:

= I am trying to find sources regarding this subject on the internet. I would appreciate it if you could refer me to one.
