Yes, these things are apparent. As a species we need to move away from some old ways and get over it already.
Religion is one. Race and language are others that need to be overcome for the betterment of humanity.

One less god!!!
I contend that we are both an atheist. I just belive in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
