Yep it also leads to nuclear- familism, nepotism, tribalism, nationalism, and a whole number of other isms which might have noticed have and do exist. Whether and how much we espouse to isms though can be tempered by rationality.
Religionism, is an ism I'd like to see the end of. Speciesism I'd like to keep. I have pets, exterminate insects in my home and eat meat. Speciesm regarding another intelligent form of life would depend on how well we could cooperate with that intelligent other.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
