Clip- Religion has fueled much of history's most celebrated slaughter: the medieval Crusades, the European Protestant-Catholic wars of the 16th-17th centuries, recent conflict between Hindus and Moslems on the Indian subcontinent, fighting between Buddhists and Hindus in Sri Lanka, the mishegaas that is Northern Ireland, etc. ad nauseam.
