They believe they're better and should have more rights than other people

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Why do they have these views?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

You'd probably need to ask them.

Not really, their material conditions are what drives the conflict. End the aparthied regime and with it the largest factors in division crumble, over time feelings will fade.

It certainly won't be simple, easy, or immediate, but it is the only valid path to lasting peace. Everthing else keeps the core problems intact.

It's in their religious texts

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Are people born with a genetic predisposition towards accepting religious texts? Why are some populations more or less dogmatically religious?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Most are taught by their parents

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Again, what causes a shift in dogmatism over time?

Access to education and societal tolerance to critical thinking?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Closer! Access to education helps, certainly. Social tolerance for critical thinking, however, stems from material conditions as well, however.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

That's a pretty naive take. There are plenty of rich religious fundamentalists, and plenty of poor atheists. And plenty of rich societies with very little tolerance for critical thinking

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I don't mean wealth when I say "material conditions," I mean the whole of how society is organized and the class dynamics that exist within it.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Religion is barely a factor.
