Religious rifts, also known as SCHISMS, are disagreements between different religious groups that can lead to a split in the religion. These disagreements can be caused by a variety of factors, such as differences in beliefs, practices, or interpretations of scripture. In some cases, these rifts can become so severe that they result in the formation of two separate religions. Religious rifts have been a part of religious history for centuries and continue to be a source of tension and conflict in many parts of the world today.
