How do you demonstrate that this is the case?
I think the demonstration can be made with the letter B.
Hitchens' speech is not persuasive to me. I heard it a long time ago, and listened to the first part again.
It is foolish to blame the problems in Belfast simply on religion. They have far more to do with the political history. Religion provides an identity and a rallying point, but no one there was killing each other over theological disputes.
So that speech does nothing to prove that "religious reasons are at the top of the chart." Domination of one country by another for economic and political reasons caused the problems in Ireland.
