“What would happen if religion simply ceased to exist? Is violence going to go away? I think the answer is no. The sociologists tell us that human beings are extremely good at finding reasons to distinguish themselves from other groups, and once they start distinguishing themselves it's easy to see how that can lead to violence between one group and another. Whether on political, or social, or gender, or economic grounds. And the real issue is that human beings are perfectly capable of transcendentalizing human values. In plain english, you take something very ordinary, a belief, and you put it up there and you say "this cannot be challenged, this is what determines everything".”
-- Alister E. McGrath
