Fear and hatred is how they all make money in the religion game.
They need one another to make money and create true believers and blind followers.
It's the same in politics...
Look at the the Republicrats:
Repub: We are a Christian nation!
Demo: We are a secular society!
Repub: We must not raise taxes, and we must lower them for the rich! (Which they accomplish by running up deficits that rich people and foreign nations benefit from).
Demo: We must eliminate the deficit (on the backs of the working middle class through new taxes), while preserving loopholes for the special interests that fund our campaigns.
I could go on, but that is bascially the gist...
Meanwhile, the problems which plague us all, such as the environment, international stability, crime, poverty, and other injustices get minor lip-service and little action.
What we need, and lack, are people with the vision and voice (the ability to broadcast their message), to address the issues that affect us all, and to instill us with a broader awareness of what makes us alike, and not what divides us. Those who are willing to compromise for the good of us all and our little blue planet...
