We ought to recognize that religious strife is not the consequence of differences among people. It's about conflicts between creation stories.

I tend to believe that religious dogma is a consequence of evolution.

Competing is intense among humans, and within a group, selfish individuals always win. But in contests between groups, groups of altruists always beat groups of selfish individuals.

I thought perhaps it should be recognized that religious people, including fundamentalists, are quite intelligent, many of them are highly educated, and they should be treated with complete respect.

Religious belief itself is an adaptation that has evolved because we're hard-wired to form tribalistic religions.

Of course, there is no reconciliation between the theory of evolution by natural selection and the traditional religious view of the origin of the human mind.
