The violent reactions to 9/11 and the 1960s revolutions cannot be solely attributed to fear and politics. Instead, religion plays a crucial role, as exemplified by German-born liberation theologian Franz Hinkelammert. He argues that the senselessness and emptiness felt by those on the fringes of a free-market ideology have been filled by extreme millenarian Christianity and other fundamentalist religions, which justify violence as self-defense. Hinkelammert proposes an alternative economics that prioritizes coexistence and liberation theology, advocating for the preferential option for the poor.
