    “It’s not religious belief it’s religious tribalism”

    Ahh yes, religious tribalism. Famously able to exist without religious belief.

      Yes, tribalism can exist without belief and can even be described as an ethnicity in itself (like Judaism). Unless you willingly glossed over the fact that someone can be secular but still have cultural/familial ties towards the tribe.

      It’s not a very smart thing to oversimplify with thought terminating exercises.

        You’re oversimplifying commitment.

        Religious belief is required for religious tribalism, otherwise it’s not religious tribalism, it’s some other form of tribalism.

        You said it was religious tribalism.

          The tribalism is the important part, not the religious. Just because your view is so narrow that you only see issues with one aspect of anything does not mean that it’s the driving cause of every problem you see.
