      @SamHarrisOrg Yugoslav break up best described as Orthodoxy in conflict with Catholicism and Islam? Or Syrian war simply Alawite and Sunni?

      @peterjukes Mostly. If you want to predict how a society will fracture -- it is usually safe to say that it will be along religious lines.

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

      @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.

      @SamHarrisOrg But you said it was safe to see most wars in religious terms. Does not explain Hutu Tutsi. Nor major conflicts of 20th Century

      @peterjukes most doesn't mean all and it might have been more accurate to say "...along ideological lines" Stalinism, nazism @SamHarrisOrg

      @danabrahmsen @peterjukes Indonesia (Muslims v. Christians), the Caucasus (Orthodox v. Muslims; Muslim v. Catholic and Orthodox).. etc.

      @SamHarrisOrg @danabrahmsen There you embody the problem. You subdivide Christianity (Orthodox/Catholic etc) but not Islam. Bad descriptors

      @peterjukes I suspect @SamHarrisOrg would be well aware there are different 'kinds' of Muslims. Not important to the point he is making

      @danabrahmsen @SamHarrisOrg It's absolutely vital when I call this a category error, and his categories are so fungible and self confirming

          @SamHarrisOrg @danabrahmsen Female circumcision. Religious or political? Or patriarchal? Predates both Islam and Christianity in Africa

          @peterjukes @danabrahmsen Religious -- for all intents and purposes-- but non canonical, granted.

          @SamHarrisOrg @danabrahmsen Religious in the original sense - to 'bind together'. Like dress codes/dietary restrictions. Paradise notsomuch

          @peterjukes @danabrahmsen Not every religious belief relates to Paradise -- but some of the most motivating ones do.

          @SamHarrisOrg @danabrahmsen I know Kenya well. Deep homophobia there (and in the Caribbean) exploited by churches. But predates it no?
