The Religion & Violence Education Network is a nonprofit organization focused on making religion more reasonable and reducing violence by translating scholarly ideas about mimetic theory into accessible language. Operating under the Raven Foundation, a registered private foundation, it seeks to engage with contemporary discussions on war, peace, identity, and desire to challenge conventional thinking and foster peaceful communities. Based in Glenview, Illinois, the organization targets audiences drawn to scholarship and public discourse on religion and violence, offering tools to reframe conversations and explore pathways to authentic peace. The group emphasizes using familiar cultural imagery and communication styles to reach a broad audience and to influence everyday understanding of religion, violence, and conflict dynamics.
