This is an excellent question. On the surface it looks like I’ve been narrow-minded and short-sighted in my inquiry; and, this may indeed be the case here (I’ve got a lot to learn from all of you and others). I created this thread as a result of the various interactions that I have observed between non-secular and secular members on AF. Based on some of these exchanges, especially where the differences between both camps seemed quite intractable, I wondered whether peace between the two sides was a realistic goal. Hence, this was why I asked a rather limiting question, rather than asking a broader, more general one.

Yes, this is pretty much what I mean. Is humanity capable of constructing a workable system where people can manage their differences non-violently and constructively? Naturally, the existence of peaceable competition is important; however, IMO, mutual cooperation is also important too.
