The most deaths caused in the last 100 years have been from the spread and control of secular governments.
What's the sense in killing for the government of a nation simply because you were born in that nation? Is national pride worth the cost of a hundreds of millions of lives?
The thread was about tolerating religion and the actions of some believers / fanatics / fundamentalists. But you will get no argument from me if you are suggesting that the nation / state has outlived its usefulness in the scheme of human social evolution. National boarders are arbitrary lines drawn by those staking out the reach of their power, and usually cause more problems than they solve.
