six of one half a dozen of the other. Patriotism involves things you can actually see, so you don't need to be a complete lunatic to fall for it, but, it also should be fairly obvious that it is "the last refuge of the scoundrel". Religion causes some people to do some good things every once in a while, but is like bitcoins, solely functioning on belief. And after someone has self-selected as a complete idiot who is ready to die for something that doesn't exist, they'll be used for all sorts of atrocities.
