Olga stressed:
<<All I said was there's a link between religiosity and intolerance - the
more fundamentally religious a group is, the more intolerant it tends to be
(and that's certainly true in militant Islam's case). Historically (as well
as generally) speaking, the Bible Belt in America has the reputation for
being more intolerant than the rest of the United States - again, there's the
religious/bigoted connection. >>
Eh? There are many non-religious, anti-religious people who have done many
nasty things too. Perhaps, religion gives people who would naturally be
intoleran, a motivation, a leg up? Or how do you explain Russian Orthodox
pogrom-heads, converting in a decade to anti-religious Gulag-heads? Nominal
Buddhists into blood-letting commies?
