Religious factors are identified as being the most important and fundamental since the Bahå'í Faith violates cherished beliefs of devout Twelver Shí'fs, and thus is seen by them as neither a legitimate independent religion nor as a legitimate sect of Sh('í Islám. The other factors contribute to the hostility against Bahå but derive most of their strength from the pre-existing religious animosity.
