> Most religions cover these points in great detail.
For just one small example, my religion says all races/tribes are equal, and that the only thing that differentiates one human from another is how well they behave.
Very relevant, don't you think?
Mine says ALL PEOPLE are equal, there is no mention of race or tribe. Beyond that I believe we need to treat others fairly and with respect. I still don't understand what religion has to do with the points you made. Where does economic and political fit in this picture? Hatred is hatred, criminal behaviour is just that too. Defining them takes us down the avenues of ambiguity where we all interpret tenets to suit our needs. Which still brings me back to, we are an overly informed people that want to question and analyse EVERYTHING.
