The Fog of War is the description of the confusion that inevitability follows the onset of hostile efforts of combatants to conquer one another. The use of incorrect information adds to the effort to confuse the enemy. It amounts to the heaping up of confusion upon confusion. Whoever who can provide the most confusion wins.
I propose the term and concept of "The Fog of Religion". Religions depend on indoctrination and information for the furthering of their various causes. When there is a sense of danger from another religion a mirage of Fog rises like a mist over a meadow.
The Fog of Religions bathes the society in misinformation based on attempts to manipulate through messages written to please the faithful and confuse the enemy. The more religions present the more complex and confusing the scene becomes.
Certain religions set their agenda as doing away with all other religions and taking the entire society into their system of thought.
Such religions apparently think themselves capable of convincing citizens of the might of their cause and/or the mortal dangers of promoting alternative religions. Such domineering religions wish to have the "Sun of their certainty" remove the Fog and have the matter settled in their favor.
The importance of maintaining a Fog of Religions begins to appear a rather helpful state of affairs. A stand off is, in my mind, better than brutal oppression or religious warfare.
The Fog of Religions is also an atmosphere in which efforts to erase religion from the landscape of life will be frustrated by the difficulties of locating the religions that are to be obliterated.
This is a new thought for me and I try it out here on the workbench of theological invention. I welcome assistance in pursing this alternative.
