@SamHarrisOrg That fails first test. Biggest genocide in last 20 years was Rwanda. Was that a religious split? Or political and cultural?2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@peterjukes I've never said that all wars/genocides have been religious. But faith did play a role in Rwanda. The Virgin Mary kicked it off.1 reply 1 retweet 1 like -

@SamHarrisOrg But you said it was safe to see most wars in religious terms. Does not explain Hutu Tutsi. Nor major conflicts of 20th Century2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@SamHarrisOrg@danabrahmsen There you embody the problem. You subdivide Christianity (Orthodox/Catholic etc) but not Islam. Bad descriptors1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
