Even just the perception of such things (even when it is your people's own doing) can lead to this. People turn to this type of religion because there is a promise of revenge, of taking what they feel they deserve, of turning the tables and punishing those who wrong them.

And the Primals often exemplify this.

And why trying to find a peaceful solution is better than killing them all

Then, there's the irony that the Garleans are creating the problem they seek to solve...
