Roof, religion is the cause of racism. OP/ED

[paulpablo]

Racism is mainly a product of human behaviour, religion has been responsible for promoting and preventing racism depending on the circumstances.
I'd say slavery, including black slavery, would almost certainly still exist with or without an Abrahamic god. It existed in the tribes of Africa before they even knew about an Abrahamic god.
And people like Hitler have existed in countries that know nothing of any Abrahamic god.  Although I'd agree with the statement you made, Hitler couldn't have convinced people they were God's chosen people without religion, but I believe he would just manipulate people some other way.
 In any society with or without God people split into groups and try and beat each other, without an Abrahamic god these groups would most likely just have different names and different rhetoric.

Still missing my point. Religion IS the cause of racism, because it is the ignorance of reality in that our grouping is evolutionary, not comic book in nature. You can demonstrate evolutionary rivalry quite naturally without religion. Take random people that don't know each other, get two teams together to play a game or sport, automatically the group cooperates as a team to win the game/sport. That is a simulation of gaining resources/ the points, the win, represent survival. Religion is a result of human's false perceptions that turn our natural behavior into a comic book.

I don't know what you mean by turning our natural behaviour into a comic book but I doubt It will change the fact that people can be racist with or without religion and that slavery exists in places where no Abrahamic god was heard of.
