It's The Thought That Counts

Politics, not religion, is the opiate of the masses. With all respect to Karl Marx, that's where he went wrong - the masses may have been religious because that's what was expected, but what they believed in was politics.

Maybe there's not that much of a difference. Certainly religion has caused much more harm in its heyday; there is no surer cause for conflict than a man who believes he speaks for and acts on behalf and with the approval of God.

But too many acts that would otherwise be considered insane are justified by it's a political thing, not a crime.
