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.

^^^^

Carl, what about the approach that religion is superstructure in these events , and the real "fuel" is underlying class struggles ? How might that impact assessment of religion in today's situation ?
